Organic chemistry is a specific discipline within the subject of chemistry. It is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of chemical compounds of carbon and hydrogen, which may contain any number of other elements, such as nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, and more rarely phosphorus or sulphur Robert T. Morrison, Robert N. Boyd, and Robert K. Boyd, Organic Chemistry, 6th edition (Benjamin Cummings, 1992, ISBN 0136436692) - this is "Morrison and Boyd", a classic textbook Richard F. and Sally J. Daley, Organic Chemistry, www.ochem4free.com, Online organic chemistry textbook..

The original definition of organic chemistry came from the misperception that these compounds were always related to life processes. Those compounds that are related to life processes are dealt with in the branch of organic chemistry which is called biochemistry.

Inorganic chemistry deals, apart from elemental carbon, only with simple carbon compounds, with molecular structures which do not contain carbon to carbon connections (its oxides, acids, salts, carbides, and minerals). This does not mean that single-carbon organic compounds do not exist (viz. methane and its simple derivatives)
