Document Summary
It deals with the study of carbon containing compounds and their reactions. Organic molecules are present in living organisms and in many products used in our everyday lives such as foods, household cleaning products, personal care products etc. Single bond: formed by the sharing of one pair of electrons. Double bond: formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons. Triple bond: formed by the sharing of three pairs of electrons. Among the cyclic structures, the arrangement of carbon atoms in 5- or 6-membered rings is quite common. The hexagonal (6-membered) ring with three single and three double bonds is called a benzene ring. Organic compounds are divided into families based on their characteristic functional group. A functional group can be visualized as a small structural unit or arrangement of atoms in a molecule that is the chemically functioning part of a molecule. In the case of drugs, the functional group(s) are responsible for their action.
