Organic Chemistry (Vol. 1) covers all topics of organic chemistry that are included in the CBSE +2 syllabus and also extends help to those preparing for other entrance examinations. Summary Of The Book Organic Chemistry is a subdiscipline of chemistry that deals with properties, structure, organic materials, and reaction of organic compounds. This field of study is directly interlinked to organometallic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, polymer chemistry, and biochemistry. For those looking for a book that provides the basics of organic chemistry, be it for their CBSE class XII examinations or for the preliminary undergraduate knowledge, Organic Chemistry (Vol. 1) is the perfect place to begin. The book begins with a general introduction to organic chemistry. The following chapters discuss topics such as  Qualitative and Quantitative Elemental Analysis, Determination of Molecular Mass, Empirical Formula and Molecular Formula, Bonding and Structure of Organic Molecules: Classical Concepts, Purification of organic compounds, Classification and Nomenclature of Organic Compounds, Bonding and Structure of Organic Molecules: Orbital Concepts, Alkyl Halides, Isomerism, and Mechanism of Organic Reactions. Organic Chemistry (Vol. 1) has separate chapters devoted to the study of Alkanes and Cycloalkanes, Alkenes and Alkadienes, Alkynes, Alcohols, Aromatic Amines, Ethers and Epoxides, Aldehydes and Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids. These chapters are followed by discussions on Aliphatic Amines, Benzene and Aromaticity, Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Effect of Substituents on Reactivity and Orientation, Homologues of Benzene, and Aryl Halides. Towards the end are the chapters on Aromatic Nitro Compounds, Arenediazonium Salts, Phenols, Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones, and Aromatic Carboxylic Acids. The multiple choice question bank provided at the end of this edition is well attuned to the question patterns followed in the CBSE examination as well as entrance tests of institutions like the IITs. The classification of chemicals as aliphatic and aromatic in this book makes it easier for students to understand and memorize. Each chapter comes with a collection of solved problems and extensive exercise with solutions and hints which tests each students understanding of a particular chapter. The current edition of Organic Chemistry (Vol. 1) has been published in 2012 by Bharati Bhawan.
