Introduction to
Organic Chemistry
• Investigates the importance of organic chemistry as a special field of chemistry
• States that there is a large number of natural and synthetic compounds containing carbon as
the main constituent element
• Explains giving the relevant facts the ability of carbon to form a large number of compounds
• Shows the importance of organic chemistry in daily life by giving examples from various
fields.
• Classification of hydrocarbons
• Identification of alkyl, phenyl and benzyl groups
• Definition and types of functional groups

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain the
element carbon.
Why carbon?
Carbon atoms can form strong bonds to form rings and chains
The small electronegativity difference between C and H also leads to the
formation of C–H covalent bonds.
