CHEMISTRY
what is actually chemistry??

if we look "chemistry" up in Webster;s Dictionary, we'll see ;

"chem.is.try n., pl.-tries. 1.the science that systematically studies the composition, properties, and activity of organic and inorganic substances and various elementary forms of matter. 2. chemical properties, reaction, phenomena,etc.: the chemistry of carbon. 3. a.sympathetic understanding; rapport. b.sexual attraction. 4.the constituent elements of something; the chemistry of love.[1560-1600; earlier chemistry]."

what is organic chemistry??

Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving 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]

Organic compounds are structurally diverse. The range of application of organic compounds is enormous. They either form the basis of or are important constituents of many products including plastics, drugs, petrochemicals, food, explosives, and paints. They form the basis of all earthly life processes (with very few exceptions).
