Organic chemistry is a field of chemistry that focuses on the study of organic compounds, which are carbon-based compounds. It involves the investigation of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons and their derivatives. Organic chemistry plays a fundamental role in various scientific disciplines, such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, biochemistry, and environmental science. Organic chemists study the different ways in which carbon atoms can bond and form complex molecules, and they explore the applications of these compounds in industries such as medicine, agriculture, and manufacturing.
