Question
Why are organic compounds studies as a separate branch of chemistry?
Advertisements
Solution 1
Due to the unique nature of carbon atoms, it gives rise to the formation of a large number of compounds. Thus, the process demands a separate branch of chemistry.
Solution 2
Organic compounds follow the same fundamental chemistry laws as inorganic compounds, but have unique characteristics such as large numbers, tetravalency of carbon, composition, linkage, melting and boiling points, stability, combustibility, origin, isomerism, and reaction nature, necessitating separate study.
