Organic Chemistry

Definition of Organic Chemistry as it relates to Science, Chemistry, Theoretical Chemistry

Organic Chemistry under Theoretical Chemistry explores the structure, reactions, properties and synthesis of organic compounds, those containing carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen. It is characterized by its study of covalent bonds in molecules as well as intermolecular forces that occur between these molecules. Organic chemistry also investigates the mechanisms behind chemical reactions of organic compounds and seeks to develop new methods for synthesizing them. In this hierarchy, it fits under Theoretical Chemistry, which is a branch of chemistry concerned with understanding the behavior of matter through mathematical and computational models. By studying the principles governing molecular interactions, Organic Chemistry contributes significantly to our broader understanding of Science, Chemistry and Theoretical Chemistry.
