The term "organic" in chemistry at a time when certain complicated carbon compounds could not be made in the lab, but only by living things. Some scientists even believed that living things could only make these "organic" compounds because they possessed some special "spiritual essence" unique to living things that would not be accessible to nonliving things.
Eventually scientists discovered enzymes and other ways of making these complicated carbon compounds in the lab, so the mystery went away but the name "organic chemistry" remained.
In modern Chemistry, Organic Chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. Methane is considered the simplest organic compound. However, carbon dioxide and the various carbonates are not "organic" compounds.
Synthesis is the creation of organic compounds in a laboratory setting, usually because obtaining usable amounts of the compound is very difficult or illegal. An example of such may be aspirin; the compound acetyl salicylic acid naturally occurs in willow bark, but to get enough of it to satisfy demand would be almost impossible with the present amount of willow trees. Instead, scientists can create enormous batches of this compound using nothing more than the two main parts and a little sulfuric acid in a lab in very short amounts of time.
Pesticides, detergents, chemical dyes and other industrial chemicals and their waste constitute synthetic organic compounds
yes ! urea is synthsized in laboratory that is organic.......
because it was once believed that such compounds could not be synthesized in a lab but could only be produced in living things/organisms because of some "supernatural essence" unique to themorganic compounds are very complex carbon compounds
organic compounds are basically composed of carbon atoms.polar organic compounds are those compounds in which the organic compounds have the properties of polar compounds.
Organic matter is organic compounds or mixtures of organic compounds.
no
urea

Proteins are synthesized from amino acids.
until the discovery of urea, in 1828, by Friedrich Wohler, chemists divided compounds that were producible and compounds that were only made by organisms. the compounds that were made by organisms were known as organic compounds. urea, being a reaction that happens in your liver, was a organic compound. by accident, Friedrich had synthesized an organic compound.
Over 50 million carbon-containing (organic) compounds are known so far. In addition, 90% of the new compounds discovered or synthesized each year are also organic. The list is growing.
The misleading name" organic" is a relic of the days when chemical compounds were divided into two classes, inorganic and organic, depending upon where they had come from. Inorganic compounds were those obtained from minerals; organic compounds were those obtained from vegetable or animal sources, that is, from material produced by living organisms. Indeed, until about 1850 many chemists believed that organic compounds must have their origin in living organisms, and consequently could never be synthesized from inorganic material.
organic compounds are basically composed of carbon atoms.polar organic compounds are those compounds in which the organic compounds have the properties of polar compounds.
Sugars and starches are organic compounds. But not all organic compounds are sugars and starches .
They are termed organic compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons and they are a subset of organic compounds.
Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon.
amphetamine is inorganic. it was synthesized by a chemist.
Compounds having this molecular formula are organic compounds.
