Selected Topics in Organic Chemistry - by Francesca Hopkins (Hardcover)

About the Book

The branch of chemistry that includes the study of structures, properties, composition, reaction and preparation of organic compounds is known as organic chemistry. Organic compounds are covalently bonded carbon containing compounds including hydrogen, halogen and other elements. They are classified on the basis of functional groups, aliphatic groups, aromaticity and the size of molecule. Organic compounds are structurally diverse and form the functional and structural basis of all living beings and many commercial products. Organic chemistry is an umbrella science which overlaps organometallic chemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, materials science and polymer chemistry. Organic chemistry is applied in a large number of industries such as pharmaceutical industry, petroleum industry, and chemical industry. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. The topics included in this book on organic chemistry are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
