====== Organic Chemistry Demonstrations ===== **See also: **[[categories:compounds|Compounds]], [[categories:polymers|Polymers]]\\ \\ Organic chemistry focuses on carbon-containing compounds and how structure relates to properties and reactivity. This category introduces common ways of representing molecules, the idea of functional groups, and the importance of isomerism. It connects molecular structure to observable behaviour, showing how small changes in bonding and shape can lead to different physical and chemical outcomes. Understanding organic chemistry provides a foundation for explaining materials found in living systems and in everyday products.\\ ---- struct table ---- schema: demo cols: page, materials, difficulty, safety, summary header: "Demonstration", "Materials", "Difficulty", "Safety", "Summary" filter: categories~Organic Chemistry filter: page~demonstrations:% sort: title csv: 0 ---- **Materials**\\ ★☆☆ Easy to get from supermarket or hardware store\\ ★★☆ Available in most school laboratories or specialist stores\\ ★★★ Requires materials not commonly found in school laboratories\\ **Difficulty**\\ ★☆☆ Can be easily done by most teenagers\\ ★★☆ Available in most school laboratories or specialist stores\\ ★★★ Requires a more experienced teacher\\ **Safety**\\ ★☆☆ Minimal safety procedures required\\ ★★☆ Some safety precautions required to perform safely\\ ★★★ Only to be attempted with adequate safety procedures and trained staff\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\
