Why is organic chemistry important?

Answer 1

How organic molecules are altered and transformed is key to determining how our bodies manufacture these molecules, what effects they have, and in making therapeutics.

Of course, it also helps us figure ways to refine oil, but I prefer the first explanation :)

Answer 2

Ever see the movie "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman? Somebody tells the recent college grad to go into "plastics." Plastics are nothing but organic chemistry. Fossil fuels are nothing but organic chemistry (with some geology thrown in.) Pharmaceuticals are nothing but organic chemistry. Explosives, including the liquid explosives that we're trying to keep off of airplanes, are nothing but organic chemistry. Need I say more?

Answer 3

a) the only bond nature of the carbon atoms is indicated by skill of the call alkane for the homologous sequence. The call of one and all of those compounds ends up in ane b) The call of the specific compound is desperate by skill of the form of C atoms in the chain. 1C = methane 2C = ethane 3C = propane 4C = butane 5c = pentane 6C = hexane 7C = heptane 8C = octane 9C = nonane 10C = decane. those naming maintains in this form for an limitless form of C atoms. as an occasion 11C = undecane 20C = eicosane called icosane 30C = triacontane 40C = tetracontane 50C pentacontane. countless the learn in organic and organic chemistry are constrained to the 1st 10 C compounds - decane - yet expertise of the better compounds is needed.
