Organic Chemistry
Inspiring and motivating students from the moment it published, Organic Chemistry has established itself in just one edition as the students' choice of organic chemistry text.This second edition takes all that has made Organic Chemistry the book of choice, and has refined and refocused it to produce a text that is even more student-friendly, more coherent and more logical in its presentation than before. At heart, the second edition remains true to the first, being built on three principles:An explanatory approach, through which the reader is motivated to understand the subject and not just learn the facts;A mechanistic approach, giving the reader the power to understand compounds and reactions never previously encountered;An evidence-based approach, setting out clearly how and why reactions happen as they do, giving extra depth to the reader's understanding. The authors write clearly and directly, sharing with the reader their own fascination with the subject, and leading them carefully from topic to topic.Their honest and open narrative flags pitfalls and misconceptions, guiding the reader towards a complete picture of organic chemistry and its universal themes and principles. Enriched with an extensive bank of online resources to help the reader visualise the structure of organic compounds and their reaction mechanisms, this second edition reaffirms the position of Organic Chemistry as the essential course companion for all organic chemistry students.Online Resource CentreFor students:A range of problems to accompany each chapterFor registered adopters of the text:Figures from the book in electronic format

Why is organic chemistry called organic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is called so because it was originally believed that compounds found in living organisms could only be produced by living organisms, and were therefore called "organic" compounds. This belief was later disproven, but the name stuck. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds, which are abundant in living organisms, and it focuses on the structure, properties, and reactions of these compounds.

What are non-renewable resources in chemistry?
Non-renewable resources in chemistry are substances that are finite in quantity and cannot be easily replenished within a human lifetime. These resources are typically extracted from the Earth's crust and include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as minerals like copper, gold, and uranium. The extraction and use of non-renewable resources can have negative environmental impacts, such as air and water pollution, habitat destruction, and greenhouse gas emissions. As these resources are depleted, it is important to find sustainable alternatives to meet our energy and material needs.

What are alkanes in organic chemistry?
Alkanes are a class of organic compounds that consist of only carbon and hydrogen atoms, with single covalent bonds between the carbon atoms. They are also known as saturated hydrocarbons because they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible for their carbon chain. Alkanes are the simplest and most basic type of hydrocarbon, and they are commonly found in natural gas and petroleum. The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n represents the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.

Modern Physical Organic Chemistry
Physical organic chemistry is an interdisciplinary field that applies fundamental physical principles to study the relationship between the structure and reactivity of molecules.Such studies provide theoretical and practical frameworks to understand how changes in structure in solution or solid-state contexts impact reaction mechanism and rate for each organic reaction of interest.Physical organic chemists use theoretical and experimental approaches work to understand these foundational problems in organic chemistry, including classical and statistical thermodynamic calculations, quantum mechanical theory and computational chemistry, as well as experimental spectroscopy, and crystallography approaches.This broad discipline has given rise to many well-established theories, for example, those for calculating reaction rates, elucidating reaction mechanisms, and understanding intra- and inter-molecular interactions.Theoretically, thermodynamic and quantum mechanical models are the most heavily invoked, while experimentally, spectroscopic and crystallographic methods are the most commonly employed.Recently, computational models (e.g. molecular dynamics simulations) have also been developed to expedite the process of designing small and macromolecules.Physical organic chemistry has helped the advancement of old and emerging fields alike, ranging from electrochemistry to materials science/engineering to chemical biology.This book will discuss the recent trends and discoveries in this highly applicable field.The text is composed of sixteen chapters contributed by experts in their respective field.Modern Physical Organic Chemistry provides the chemical community with authoritative and critical assessments of the many aspects of physical organic chemistry.The field is a rapidly developing one, with results and methodologies finding application from biology to solid state physics.It aims to provide a valuable source of information not only for physical organic chemists applying their expertise to both novel and traditional problems, but also for non-specialists across diverse areas who identify a physical organic component in their approach to research.Its hallmark is a quantitative, molecular level understanding of phenomena across a diverse range of disciplines.More specifically, physical organic chemistry applies the experimental tools of physical chemistry to the study of the structure of organic molecules and provides a theoretical framework that interprets how structure influences both mechanisms and rates of organic reactions.It can be thought of as a subfield that bridges organic chemistry with physical chemistry.Physical organic chemists use both experimental and theoretical disciplines such as spectroscopy, spectrometry, crystallography, computational chemistry, and quantum theory to study both the rates of organic reactions and the relative chemical stability of the starting materials, transition states, and products.Chemists in this field work to understand the physical underpinnings of modern organic chemistry, and therefore physical organic chemistry has applications in specialized areas including polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, electrochemistry, and photochemistry.

Why is it called organic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is called so because it originally focused on compounds that were derived from living organisms, such as plants and animals. These compounds were believed to contain a vital force or "life force" (called "organic" in Greek) that distinguished them from inorganic compounds. Over time, the definition of organic chemistry has expanded to include the study of carbon-containing compounds, regardless of their origin, but the historical roots of the field are reflected in its name.

What is the difference between organic and eco-friendly products?
Organic products are made from ingredients that are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, and are often certified by a regulatory body. Eco-friendly products, on the other hand, are designed to have minimal impact on the environment throughout their entire lifecycle, from production to disposal. While organic products focus on the natural ingredients used, eco-friendly products consider the overall environmental impact of the product. In essence, organic products focus on the ingredients, while eco-friendly products focus on the entire product lifecycle.

Is organic sustainable?
Organic farming practices can be more sustainable than conventional methods in terms of reducing chemical inputs, promoting biodiversity, and improving soil health. However, there are challenges to the scalability and efficiency of organic farming, which can impact its overall sustainability. For example, organic farming typically requires more land and labor to produce the same amount of food as conventional methods, which can limit its ability to meet global food demand. Additionally, the transportation and distribution of organic products can have a higher environmental impact due to their shorter shelf life and the need for refrigeration. Overall, while organic farming has many sustainable benefits, there are also limitations to its long-term sustainability on a large scale.
