What are the characteristics of organic compounds?
Organic compounds are usually referred to as carbon-containing compounds, or hydrocarbon-containing compounds and their derivatives are collectively referred to as organic matter. Organic compounds are generally insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents with lower melting points. The vast majority of organic matter heat easily decomposed, easy to burn. The reaction of organic matter is generally slow and often accompanied by side effects, and there are many kinds of organic compounds, which can be divided into two major categories of hydrocarbon and hydrocarbon derivatives. According to the organic groups contained in the functional groups, divided into alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons and alcohols, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters and so on. According to the organic carbon molecular structure, can also be divided into open chain compounds, carbocyclic compounds and heterocyclic compounds three categories.
