Basic Concepts of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry is grounded in carbon atom hybridization (sp³, sp², sp), spatial geometry, IUPAC functional group precedence, and electronic displacements (inductive, resonance, and hyperconjugation effects).
Hydrocarbons and Halohydrocarbons
The reactivity of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons centers on electrophilic addition to unsaturated pi-bonds, electrophilic aromatic substitution preserving benzene resonance energy, and haloalkane nucleophilic substitution/elimination.
Oxygen-Containing Organic Compounds
Oxygenated organic functional groups (alcohols, phenols, carbonyls, carboxylic acids) are defined by the acidity of the O-H bond, the nucleophilic susceptibility of the carbonyl carbon, and nucleophilic addition-elimination pathways.

Nitrogen-containing compounds (amines, amides, diazonium salts) derive their chemical behavior from the nucleophilicity and basicity of the nitrogen lone pair and the synthetic versatility of arenediazonium intermediates.
