Determination of Organic Compound

Organic compounds are those elements of which one or more atoms is covalently linked with the atoms of other elements. Most of these elements include hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Some carbon compounds are not designated as organic compounds such as carbynes, carbonate and carbides. Based on this, it has been noted that some carbon is not treated as an organic compound and examples of these elements are cyanides, carbonates and car bytes. . This study highlights a detailed discussion of the determination of organic compounds and their characteristics. Other than this, a functional group of organic compounds is being discussed in this study. 

Organic compound

In simple terms, organic compounds are typically identified as a group of atoms covalently bonded with atoms of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Bond between organic compounds is a covalent bond. As the bonds are created by living things, thus it is found throughout the whole world. This kind of compound is found in seas, commercial products and in every cell of the human body as well. Generally, carbon atoms share their atoms with other carbon atoms which aim to create a long carbon chain which is known as a carbon skeleton. While sharing an atom in a covalent bond a carbon does share all of its electrons rather than carbon atoms intend to share its electron with a variety of other kinds of elements. One Of these elements is a hybrid with which carbon shares its electron. Grouping of hydrogen and carbon are known as hydrocarbons. Based on this it has been noted that carbon generally creates a covenant bond with other elements such as oxygen, hydrogen and nitro which create organic compounds. Some examples of the main organic compounds are carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. 

Characteristics of Organic Compounds

On analysis of organic compound nature and its characteristics, it has been noted that organic compounds have high complexity in structure. The structure of organic compounds is not simple as it has a higher molecular weight. Molecular weight refers to the sum of weights of all atoms. In organic compounds molecular weight of these elements is high. For an example of organic compounds, it has been noted that the molecular structure of carbohydrates is complex. Another nature of the organic compound is its solvency. Generally organic compound is soluble in an organic solvent act which signifies that organic compound is soluble in nature. However, these organic compounds are not soluble in water. On the other hand, dependency on organic comp[fund is also highlighted in the part, where it has been noted that most organic compounds depend on oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. Thus, through analysis of dependency of organic compounds, it can be said that oxygen, hydrogen and carbon are the factors element on which this compound is dependent. Moreover, analysis of these compounds also highlights that organic compounds are combustible in nature, which means that most organic compounds are made up of carbon. On the other hand, a detailed analysis of organic compounds denotes that the properties of this compound are based on the functional group attached to them. 

Types of organic compounds 

There are various kinds of organic compounds such as lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acid and protein. Carbohydrates are organic compounds that are created through covalent bonds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Ratio of molecules of oxygen and hydrogen in this organic compound is 1:2. In this situation, it has been noted that organisms used these organic compounds as a source of energy. 

Lipid is another type of organic compound that is also made up of atoms of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. Three main groups of lipids are known as Fat, oil and waxes. This organic compound is used as energy storage through which structure can be built. Other than this, protein is also a type of organic compound that is made up of a chain of amino acids which is known as peptides. Examples of protein are enzymes and kartyne. Nucleic acid is a type of organic compound that is made up of chains of nucleotide monomers. Examples of nucleic acid are DNA and RNA. 

Formula of organic compounds

Molecular formula: molecules formula is those which are based on actual make of compound. For example, molecules formula of ethanol is C2H6O

“Empirical formula”: this formula highlights the most basic form of any compound. Use of this formula is decreased as many compounds have the same empirical formula. An example of the empirical formula of C8H16O2 is C4H8O.

“Condensed Structural Formula”: The condensed formula is the same as the structure formula but it is used to save space and make it faster and more convenient. Condensed formula for ethanol is CH3CH2OH. 

Conclusion

Based on the whole study it has been concluded that there are mainly four types of organic compounds which are lipids, protein, carbohydrate and nucleic acid. Examples of organic compound lipids are olive oil and oestrogen. Moreover, examples of nucleic acid are RNA and DNA. Other than this, it has been concluded that all organic compounds are soluble in organic elements but they are not soluble in water. Other than this, there are various formulas of organic elements such as molecules formula, condensed formula etc.
