1. Structure and Properties of Organic Compounds
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon (C) compounds, all of which have covalent bonds. Carbon atoms can bond to each other to form open-chain compounds, Fig. 1.1(a), or cyclic (ring) compounds, Fig. 1.1(c). Both types can also have branches of C atoms, Fig. 1.1(b
