branch of Chemistry that deals w/ Carbon-containing compounds.
Organic Chemistry
- the FATHER OF MODERN CHEMISTRY
- he is the one who discovered that organic compounds can be synthesized from inorganic compounds.
- he also discovered that differect chemicals can have the SAME MOLECULAR FORMULA.
- 1828: heating AMMONIUM CYANATE = UREA
Friedrich Wohler
- he said that organic molecules are only produced from living entities
- Vital Force Theory/ Vitalism
Jon Jacob Berzelius
Organic Substances are produced NATURALLY & SYNTHETICALLY.
True or False?
TRUE
Carbon neither gives up nor accepts electrons.
True or False?
True
WHY ORGANIC COMPOUNDS PREDOMINATE IN
NATURE?
because of CARBON CATENATION & ISOMERISM
