OIL PRODUCTS and ORGANIC CHEMISTRY NOTES INDEX (GCSE level notes) INDEX of pages on Oil, its many useful products, environmental problems and an introduction to organic chemistry - Doc Brown's revision notes for GCSE, IGCSE, O Level, KS4 science-chemistry courses The organic chemistry of carbon compounds is so important that it forms a separate branch of chemistry. A huge variety of carbon compounds is possible because carbon atoms can form stable chains and rings linked by C-C bonds and bonding with atoms such as nitrogen and oxygen. Organic chemistry gets its name from the fact that the main sources of organic compounds are living, or once-living materials from plants and animals. Fossil fuels, oil and gas, are a major source of feedstock for the petrochemical industry in which chemists are able to take organic molecules and modify them in many ways to make new and useful materials such as polymers, pharmaceuticals, perfumes and flavourings, dyes, detergents and many other products we take for granted.
