Brief Introduction about the chapter

Welcome to the chapter on General Organic Chemistry.

This chapter is about an overview of organic chemistry. Here we’ll discuss the entire framework within which the concepts of this subject will be built. A good feel of general organic chemistry is very necessary if you wish that the myriad of information available in this field stays coherently connected in your mind. As we progress along the study of organic chemistry, you’ll begin to understand that grasping a small number of guiding principles can be used to explain a vast array of existing disparate information and also to make predictions about previously unknown reactions and compounds.

Keeping this in mind, you should strive hard to really understand the underlying basic principles of organic chemistry.
