Ch # 7 : Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry

Introduction:

More than 200 years ago, early chemists recognized organic compounds distinct from inorganic compounds because of the differences in their origin and properties. Organic compounds were considered as those obtained from living things, plants or animals, and inorganic compounds were those obtained from non- living or mineral sources……………
