Outline of organic chemistry
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to organic chemistry:
Organic chemistry is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of carbon-based compounds, hydrocarbons, and their derivatives. These compounds may contain any number of other elements, including hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, the halogens as well as phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur.[1][2][3]

gollark: Maybe you could write it down using minoteaur™, coming soon.
gollark: You can write it down so you don't forget!
gollark: > so long as everyone can live equally and be happy with what they have, i don't careThis is not entirely the case.
