[an organic compound is virtually any ‘chemical compound’ that contains ‘carbon’…]
[…although a ‘consensus definition’ remains ‘elusive’ + likely ‘arbitrary’]
.
-more precisely, an “organic compound” can be defined by presence of at least 1 [carbon/hydrogen] bond-
.
.
(‘organic compounds’ are rare terrestrially, but of central importance because all known life is based on ‘organic compounds’)
.
(the most basic ‘petro-chemicals’ are considered the ‘building blocks’ of ‘organic chemistry’–
.
The prefix “n-” (or normal) is used when all carbons form a continuous, unbranched (linear) chain.
If a functional group (such as an alcohol) is present that functional group is on the end of the chain.
Not to be confused with ‘nor’, which indicates a missing ‘methyl group’
