Concept introduction:

A class of chemical compounds where one or more carbon atoms are bonded with other or to atoms of other elements, most commonly $\text{H, O, or N}$ via covalent bond is said to be organic compound.

Explanation of Solution

The most common type of organic compound is carbohydrate, such as sugar or starch which are used to store energy.

The study of properties, composition, structure, reactions, functionalities and synthesizing carbon-carbon compounds comes under a branch of chemistry namely, organic chemistry. The organic chemists have identified huge organic compounds in nature and also synthesizes many of them. They research for new organic compounds which includes synthesis and study of properties like composition, structure, reactions, functionalities of the new synthesized compound.
