J. Berzelius <\/i>(1807) named the compounds that derived from living\u00a0organism as organic compounds and those from non-living materials as\u00a0inorganic compounds. He thought that organic compounds would be\u00a0prepared in the living bodies through vital force, the essence of life. As\u00a0this force is absent outside the living bodies, it was thought that the so\u00a0called organic compounds could not be synthesized in the laboratories.<br \/>\nSurprisingly <i>F. Wohler <\/i>(1828) produced an organic compound <b><i>Urea\u00a0<\/i><\/b>in the laboratory by heating an inorganic salt ammonium cyanate.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-122985 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Explain-the-Versatile-Nature-of-Carbon-1.png\" alt=\"Explain the Versatile Nature of Carbon 1\" width=\"412\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Explain-the-Versatile-Nature-of-Carbon-1.png 412w, https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Explain-the-Versatile-Nature-of-Carbon-1-300x116.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/>It inspired many other chemists and they were successful to prepare\u00a0the so called organic compounds, methane, acetic acid etc., in the\u00a0laboratory. This gave a death blow to the idea that organic compounds are\u00a0derived from living organism. Chemists thought about a new definition\u00a0for organic compounds. After observing the structures and elements of\u00a0organic compounds, they defined organic compounds as compounds of\u00a0carbon. Therefore, organic chemistry is totally allotted to carbon\u00a0compounds.<\/p>\n<p>We understand that all molecules that make life possible carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, hormones, and vitamins\u00a0contain carbon. The chemical reactions that take place in living systems\u00a0are of carbon compounds. Food that we get from nature, various medicines,\u00a0cotton, silk and fuels like natural gas and petroleum almost all of them are\u00a0carbon compounds. Synthetic fabrics, plastics, synthetic rubber are also\u00a0compounds of carbon. Hence, carbon is a special element with the largest\u00a0number of compounds.<\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/binding-carbon-elements\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Binding of Carbon with other Elements<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/homologous-series-hydrocarbons\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homologous Series of Hydrocarbons<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/allotropes-carbon\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allotropes of Carbon<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/catenation-in-carbon\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catenation in Carbon<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/classification-of-hydrocarbons\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classification of Hydrocarbons<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/sp3-hybridized-carbon-atom\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sp3 Hybridized Carbon atom<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/the-hybridization-of-the-carbon-atoms-in-acetylene\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybridization of the Carbon atoms in Acetylene<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/characteristics-compound\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the Characteristics of Compounds<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/chemical-properties-carbon-compounds\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemical Properties of Carbon Compounds<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cbselibrary.com\/nomenclature-carbon-compounds-containing-functional-groups\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nomenclature of Carbon Compounds<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explain the Versatile Nature of Carbon By the eighteenth century scientists tried to explain the difference\u00a0between the compounds in a broader way.
