  CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Classification of organic compounds based on structure or carbon skeleton  Video link  Organic Compound are divided into two types they are  1. Open chain  2. Closed chain  1. Aliphatic or Open chain compounds : Those compounds in which first & last carbon atoms are not connected with each other. Branched or unbranched chains are possible in these compounds.  For example : Aliphatic or open chain compounds are two varieties in these compounds - Saturated Hydrocarbons :  In such type, adjacent carbon are attached with single bonds. Example - CH 3 –CH 2 –CH 3    General formula of these compounds are C n H 2n+2    These are also called as paraffins (Parum + Affins i.e. little reactivity) because these are less reactive due to absence of 𝝅-bonds. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons : There will be a double bond or a triple bond between any two carbon atoms, CH 2 =CH–CH 3 Propene CH≡C–CH 3 Propyne   General formula is C n H 2n or C n H 2n–2    These a
