Hydrocarbons are the parent organic compounds.All other compounds are considered to have been derived from them by replacing one or more of their hydrogen atoms by some other more reactive atom or group. R—H --------> R—G -H and +G Each organic molecule consist of two parts i.e. R and G. The first part, i.e. R denotes the carbon -hydrogen framework of the … [Read more...] about Functional Or Characteristic Group

Nomenclature Of Different Classes Of Organic Compounds
Compounds of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. These are further divided into two classes: saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon. 1) Saturated hydrocarbons- alkanes Hydrocarbons in which all the carbon atoms are linked to one another by only single bonds are called saturated hydrocarbons. These ma be either acyclic or cyclic hydrocarbons. Saturated … [Read more...] about Nomenclature Of Different Classes Of Organic Compounds
