Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry focused on the study and manipulation of organic compounds, which are substances containing carbon atoms bonded with other elements like hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen among others. This field is fundamental to understanding the chemical basis of life and is pivotal in numerous industries including pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and materials science. Organic chemists explore the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of carbon-based compounds, ranging from simple molecules like methane to complex structures like DNA. In addition to playing a critical role in the development of new drugs and materials, organic chemistry also contributes to solving problems related to human health and the environment. Techniques such as spectroscopy and chromatography are commonly used in organic chemistry to analyze the composition of substances and understand their chemical behavior.
