10.1 Organic and Inorganic
Compounds
"Organic chemistry nowadays almost
drives me mad. To me it appears like
a primeval tropical forest full of the
most remarkable things, a dreadful
endless jungle into which one does
not dare enter for there seems to be
no way out."
Friedrich Wöhler, 1835

10.1 Organic and Inorganic
Compounds
Organic chemicals contain carbon.
It was thought that organic compounds could
only be formed in living organisms; they
required a “vital force” to be produced.
Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon
(with a few exceptions) and can be obtained
from mineral sources.

10.2 Bonding Characteristics of
Carbon
Carbon forms very strong bonds with itself
and other elements.
Carbon forms bonds with many geometries.
