Importance of Organic Compounds

The whole world around us is a combination of different Chemical elements that give rise to the formation of the so-called Chemical compounds, which have different properties Physical and Chemical that confer what is subsequently perceived through our Five senses, each of them having a Color, Texture, Viscosity or Hardness (among other qualities and characteristics)

Among the different combinations that we find in nature we find precisely the group of Organic Compounds, understanding as such all those who count among their chemical structure different combinations of molecules Hydrogen and/or Carbon, developing then substances of organic molecules.

Although the necessary condition to be considered as such is the combination of hydrocarbons, the truth is that those combinations with other elements are also considered as such, as in the case of Sulfur, Boron, Nitrogen and Halogens, in addition to one of the most abundant in nature such as Carbohydrates, compounds that are known to be made by the

Vegetable species through the process known as Photosynthesis and that they are the base of the feeding of these living beings and those who feed on them, receiving the name of Carbohydrates or Sugars.

Although there are a large number of possible combinations in nature, the truth is that simply the Organic Compounds They are classified according to their origin, having on the one hand the Natural Compounds, which are those produced by the Living beings obtaining the elements from different means, such as the Feeding or Breathing, while on the other hand we have those that are synthesized in the laboratory.

For this differentiation it is not necessary that the origins of these substances are different, taking the example of the plastics, which include derivatives of hydrocarbons (such as Fossil Remains, depositions of living beings) as a natural compound, through which the final product is synthesized and used for different purposes.
