Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In this unit of class 11 Organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, how to name them, as well as the analytical (qualitative and quantitative) methods to characterize them. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!

In thin-layer chromatography, the retention factor (Rf) is used to compare and help identify compounds. The Rf value of a compound is equal to the distance traveled by the compound divided by the distance traveled by the solvent front (both measured from the origin). For example, if a particular compound travels 1.5 cm and the solvent front travels 6.0 cm, then the compound's Rf value is 0.25.
