, Introduction
• Organic compounds are mostly low-melting solids, liquids or gase
their water solutions do not conduct electricity
• The type of bonding that exists in these compounds plays a major r
their physical properties and behavior.
• The main types of bonds that exist between atoms are ionic and
covalent bonds.
• In inorganic compounds, the constituent atoms are held together
ionic bonds, whereas organic compounds in general are formed be
of covalent bonds between atoms.
, Principal Of Atomic Structure
Structure Of The Atoms
• Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and
electrons
• Protons and neutrons have similar masses
• Atomic number: no of proton in nucleus
• Isotopes: same no of proton but different no of
neutrons
