Organic Chemistry is the largest branch and fastest growing branch of Chemistry. Generally Organic Chemistry is manageable by classifying organic compounds into "families". Each family consists of compounds that have a chemically active center of the molecule called the family's "functional group". All members of a particular family have similar Chemistry because their functional group is the center of Chemical activity. |
