Q. What is the
importance of organic chemistry?
Ans. A large number of organic materials, both
natural and synthetic, are essential to our well being and living standard. The
food we take, the clothes we wear, the paper in our books, the medicines we use
when we are sick, are all organic in nature. The modern synthetic organic
products are: gasoline, plastics, surface coatings, vitamins, medicinal drugs,
dyes, artificial flavourings, refrigerants, insecticides, preservatives and
artificial sweetners. The human body itself is made of a variety of “organics”
and the very life process is supported by numerous enzymes-catalyzed reactions
that occur in our body.
