Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the important basis of life. They include gasoline, coal, dyes, and clothing fibers etc. The compounds that are obtained from living organisms are termed as organic compounds and those obtained from the earth are known as inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are found in earth also apart from living organisms. All the organic compounds contain the element carbon. Urea was synthesized in the laboratory which is an organic compound.
Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon derivatives are the one in which the compounds contain hydrogen and carbon atoms along with one or more additional elements. The additional elements that can be present in hydrocarbon derivatives are oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine etc. The compounds which contain only single bonds between carbon atoms is known as
Hydrocarbons are further classified into two categories. They are saturated hydrocarbons and

- Can triacylglycerols contain chiral carbon atoms? If so, which ones are chiral and how is their chirality determined?arrow_forwardThe explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT) is made by carrying out three successive nitration reactions on toluene.
