Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon as the main element and it is covalently attached to other elements such as hydrogen, sulfur, nitrogen, etc. In this article learn about basic properties of organic compound Composition - All organic compounds contain carbon. The other elements may be hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur or halogens. Most of the organic compounds contain covalent linkages in their molecules. Catenation - It is a linkage of an atom of the same elements to form a long chain. Catenation occurs readily in carbon. The carbon has a tendency to form a bond with another carbon atom which gives rise to long chains, branched and rings is known as catenation. Isomerism - It is the property shown by most of the organic compounds. Compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulae are called isomers and property is known as isomerism. Due to different structures, chemical and physical properties differ. Polymerizati
