Oh, wow, oh, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh, wow.

Oh, wow.

Oh, my.

Oh, my. Hello, you're listening to the Sides of Everything Everything podcast episode 62, Organic Chemistry.

I'm your host, James Fodor.

So in this episode, we're going to discuss the fundamentals of organic chemistry,

give sort of an outline to what is a very large and broad field.

Organic chemistry is quite technical, and to be properly understood, requires a great deal of

practice and looking at structural formulae and chemical reactions and so on, which we obviously

can't do here, nor would it really be appropriate. What I will attempt to do in this episode

is give an outline of some of the core issues, concepts, ideas, and findings of organic chemistry so that you can be,

hopefully, after you listen to this, a bit more literate about these sorts of issues and maybe

fit together some things that you've heard about and concepts that you've been exposed to before,

but perhaps not properly understood. So in this episode, we're going to look at what is organic

chemistry, what is meant by organic and inorganic compounds. going to look at what is organic chemistry, what is meant by

organic and inorganic compounds.

We'll look at the different types of organic compounds, including polymers and biochemical

compounds.

I'll discuss a little bit about organic chemical nomenclature, so how organic compounds are

named and what some of the words there mean.

Then we'll look at some interesting concepts in organic chemistry like functional groups, aromaticity at fullerines. We'll talk a bit about polymers as well.

And I'll conclude by discussing a bit about the different types of organic chemical reactions and organic synthesis,
