Organic chemistry, a crucial part of the NEET (National Eligibility Entrance Test) chemistry syllabus, focuses on compounds containing carbon, especially those with carbon-hydrogen bonds. Understanding the basics of organic compounds, including their structure, bonding, classification, and reactions, is essential for success in NEET.
- Classification of Organic Compounds:
- Acyclic (Open-chain): Examples include alkanes.
- Cyclic (Closed-chain): Examples include cyclohexane.
- Aromatic: Examples include benzene.
- Purification and Analysis of Organic Compounds:
- Learn about techniques like distillation, crystallization, chromatography, and different chemical tests used to identify and purify organic compounds.
- Acyclic (Open-chain): Examples include alkanes.
