Organic compounds
Organic compounds: functional groups and formula mass
Alcohols (methanol CH₃OH, ethanol C₂H₆O, ethylene glycol C₂H₆O₂), carbonyl solvents (acetone C₃H₆O), carboxylic acids (acetic, citric, salicylic), sugars (glucose, sucrose), and pharmaceuticals (aspirin C₉H₈O₄) show how carbon frameworks still reduce to atom counts for molar mass. Urea (CH₄N₂O) is the classic bridge between inorganic and organic synthesis history.
Compare methanol vs ethanol toxicity, glucose vs sucrose hydrolysis, and salicylic acid vs aspirin acetylation.
