Introduction to Organic Chemistry
The field of chemistry which deals with the studies of reactions, structures, and properties of organic compounds that comprise carbon bonded through covalent bonding is organic chemistry. The studies regarding the structure of organic compounds could be…
Vinyl Group
Vinyl group is the name given to the functional group of -CH=CH2. It can be seen as an ethene molecule with one less hydrogen in number. Hence it is also called as ethenyl group at times.
Straight Chain Hydrocarbons
The requirement to identify each compound needs a richer number of words than informative prefixes like n and iso. The identification of organic molecules is made easier by the use of systematic nomenclature schemes. The organic chemistry nomenclature ha…
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Following are few examples of alkenes with their general molecular as well as their structural formulas:
Conjugated Compounds in Organic Chemistry
The delocalization of electrons in a molecule is called conjugation in organic chemistry. This delocalisation process of electrons leads to the shortenings or elongations of chemical bonds, but at the same time it causes changes in the chemical propertie…
Alpha Carbon And Alpha Protons
The carbon directly attached to the functional group in an organic molecule is referred to as the alpha carbon and the hydrogen attached to an alpha carbon are termed as the alpha hydrogens or alpha protons. These alpha carbon atoms and alpha hydrogen at…

Chapter 10, Problem 10.9QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for impossibility in mastering organic chemistry by attempting to memorize complete details about each individual molecule has to be given.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Organic chemistry deals with carbon and its compounds.  In organic chemistry, there are more than millions of compounds present.  As there is a huge number of compounds present it is impossible to memorize everything about the compound.  This can be simplified by learning the rules of naming nomenclature for a compound, the general features of the class of organic compounds and the type of reaction that a particular group or class of organic compounds undergo.
