Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry deals with the study of composition and reactions of mostly compounds containing carbon. This is one of the most important branches of chemistry since it has led to the development of complex organic compounds of industrial use. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are considered as the four important organic elements of living system. The air we breathe in has a mixture of elements. Chemistry is a vast field of study which we touch, feel, smell and even eat in our everyday life. Interesting isn’t it? How is the soap we use for cleaning made? How is vinegar used as a preservative? The answer to all these questions lies in the world of chemistry. We ourselves are the products of chemistry since our body is made of minerals and chemicals. The water we drink, the food we eat, the medicines we take are all a part of chemistry. The shampoo we use to bath, perfume we spray, the lotion we use for cleaning, even the paper we write are all the end products of organic reactions.
