Purification of Organic Compounds
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing molecules’ structure, characteristics, content, reactions, and production. The majority of organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may also contain a variety of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur).
Organic chemistry was originally limited to the study of molecules created by living organisms, but it has now expanded to encompass man-made substances.
