Organic chemistry

Organic chemistry is the chemistry practice of specific disciplines to discuss the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (synthesis or other sense) about bergugus chemical compounds of carbon and hydrogen, which may also comprise several other elements, including nitrogen, oxygen, the element halogen, such as phosphorus, silicon and sulfur. [1] [2] [3] The original definition of the chemical "organic" comes from the misperception of an organic mixture that is always associated with life. Not all organic compounds support life on earth entirely, but life as we know it depends also on the majority of inorganic chemistry, for example: some enzymes rely on transition metals such as iron and copper, and compound materials such as shell / skin, teeth and bone, composed mainly of organic material, some of the other inorganic. Apart from the basic material of carbon, inorganic chemistry describes only simple carbon compounds, with molecular structures which do not contain carbon to carbon chains (such as dioxide, acids, carbonates, carbides, and minerals). 





This does not mean that there is no single carbon compounds (eg methane and simple derivatives). Biochemical most elaborate protein chemistry (and larger biomolecules). Because of the nature of specific carbon chain compounds show many extreme diversity of organic compounds and a very broad application. Such compounds are basic or fundamental elements of some products (paints, plastics, food, explosives, drugs, petrochemicals, some other name) and (apart from a few exceptions) is a compound form the basis of life processes. The difference in shape and chemical reactivity of molecules specify multiple functions that surprising, such as enzyme catalysts in biochemical reactions that support life systems. Automatic breeding naturally in organic chemistry in life entirely. The trend in organic chemistry include chiral synthesis, green chemistry, microwave chemistry, fullerene (carbon alotropis) and microwave spectroscopy.
