Structural isomerism, also known as constitutional isomerism, occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms in their structures. This type of isomerism is prevalent in organic chemistry and can significantly affect the physical and chemical properties of compounds. Structural isomerism can be classified into several types based on the differences … Read more
Nomenclature is the system of naming chemical compounds in a standardized way. Organic compounds can be named using two main systems: the common (or trivial) system and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) system. Common Nomenclature System The common system of nomenclature often uses historical or traditional names that are not systematically … Read more
Organic compounds are primarily made of carbon atoms in combination with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. These compounds are classified based on various criteria such as the structure of the carbon chain, the presence of specific functional groups, and the nature of the carbon-carbon bonds. Here’s a detailed classification of organic compounds: … Read more
