Chapter 4, problem 1.
00:02
Organic chemistry is currently defined as a, the study of compounds made only by living cells, b, the study of carbon compounds, c, the study of natural as opposed to synthetic compounds, or d, the study of hydrocarbons.
00:16
So, despite what the name organic, despite what that name may, despite the images that that name might produce in your head, organic does not, necessarily mean from life or that it's all natural.
00:36
Organic chemistry simply refers to anything that involves chemistry of carbon -containing compounds.
00:43
So the study of carbons made only by living cells.
00:48
So this would be incorrect because the compounds may not be created by living cells.
00:55
And also there's some chemistry that may occur within cells that don't include the carbon molecules...
