Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Vitalism theory : Vitalism was the nineteenth-century idea that only living organisms could produce organic compounds using a vital force.
  • Wöhler urea synthesis : Wöhler’s 1828 result showed that urea could be made in a lab from an inorganic starting material, ammonium cyanate.
  • Catenation : Catenation is the ability of atoms of the same element to bond to each other, forming chains and rings.
  • Organic chemistry definition : Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds except the oxides of carbon, carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, cyanides, and cyanates.
