IB Further Organic Chemistry

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

The name 'organic' refers to the historical link between these compounds and living organisms. 'Inorganic' compounds were those which could be derived from non-living sources.

Confusingly, some inorganic compounds contain carbon.
