Organic chemistry :
Some Basic Principles and Techniques Organic compounds are the hydrocarbons and their derivatives and organic chemistry is that branch of chemistry that deals with the study of these compounds Tetravalency of carbon The atomic number of Carbon is 6 and its electronic configuration is 2,4 i.e. it has 4 valence electrons. Thus carbon is always tetracovalent, i.e. it forms 4 covalent bonds with other atoms.
Due to tetravalency of carbon it has a tetrahedron shape. Catenation- The self linking property of carbon is known as catenation. This is the main reason of existence of such large number of compounds.
NOMENCLATURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
Organic chemistry deals with millions of compounds. In order to clearly identify them, a systematic method of naming known as IUPAC system of nomenclature is adopted. The names are such that the listener can deduce the structure from it. The IUPAC name consists of three parts: Prefix Word root Suffix.
Organic compounds having Functional Groups: The longest chain of carbon atoms containing the functional groups is numbered in such a way that the functional group attached to the carbon atom gets the lowest possible number in the chain. When there are more functional groups then a priority order is followed as:
-COOH, -SO3H, -COOR, COCl, -CONH2, -CN, -HC=O, =C=O, -OH, -NH2, =C=C=, -CΞ C-
