Abstract

This chapter presents a short overview of organic chemistry as a major branch of chemistry. By building on the basics of general chemistry, the ability of carbon to produce a wide range of complex molecular types is highlighted. The purpose of the chapter is to introduce functional groups, structure drawing, molecular electronic effects, and the prediction of molecular shape. The relationship between physical properties and structure is also briefly considered.
