What do you already know about organic compounds and their classifications?

What are Organic Compounds?

Organic compounds are primarily made of carbon atoms bonded with hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements. They form the basis of all known life.

Types of Organic Compounds

Organic compounds are classified into hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, esters, and more, based on their functional groups.

Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons consist mainly of hydrogen and carbon. They are divided into alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.

Functional Groups
