By definition, it is a branch of chemistry that focuses on carbon compounds. While this seems like a very narrow group of compounds, there are over 10 million known molecules, and over 80% of these are classified as organic. Organic compounds are ubiquitous and are part of your life. You are a carbon-based life form: DNA, proteins ...

An Introduction. Introductory Organic Chemistry is intended for use as a text in a single-term organic chemistry course as part of a one-year Introductory Chemistry course series, also known as a General, Organic and Biological Chemistry (GOB) course series. The text was produced with the specific objective of making an openly-available text ...
Bonding MO Antibonding MO. σ = C1ψ1 + C2 ψ2 σ* = (C1*)ψ1 + (C 2*) ψ 2. The coefficients C1 and C2 represent the contribution of each AO. The squares of the C-values are a measure of the electron density on the atoms in question. Rule 3: Both wave functions must contribute one net orbital. Consider the C-O pi-bond.

1.1 LIFE AND THE CHEMISTRY OF CARBON COMPOUNDS—WE ARE STARDUST Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain the element carbon. If a compound does not contain the element carbon, it is said to be inorganic. Look for a moment at the periodic table inside the front cover of this book. More than a hundred elements are listed there.
Lectures 1-7. This course gives a basic introduction to organic synthesis. The aim is to show the use of several common reactions, introduce the concept of synthetic organic chemistry and how organic chemists design and carry out multi step synthesis. Several new organic reactions are introduced on the way, but most mechanistic aspects are ...
