Organic Chemistry Impact Factor

            Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and production of compounds containing carbon, which includes not only hydrocarbons but also compounds with a number of other elements, including hydrogen (most compounds contain at least one carbon-hydrogen-wall), nitrogen and oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon and sulfur. This branch of chemistry was initially limited to compounds produced by living organisms, but was expanded to include artificial substances such as plastic. The scope of organic compounds is very large and includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food, explosives, paints and cosmetics. Organic chemistry is a very creative science where chemists make new molecules and study the properties of existing compounds. Organic connections are all around us. They are central to the economic growth of the United States in the rubber, plastic, fuel, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, detergent, coating, coloring, and agrochemical industries. The basics of biochemistry, biotechnology and medicine are based on organic compounds and their role in life processes. Many modern high-tech materials consist of at least some organic compounds.
