Summary Introduction
Introduction: An organic compound is defined as the chemical compound that has carbon and other elements. A functional group is defined as an atom or group of atoms that help to determine the particular chemical properties of an organic compound. Non-polar molecules are a type of molecule that has the same electronegativity. These molecules have no dipole.
