Homework Statement
Modern organic chemistry is the study of:
a) only molecular compounds
b) only petrochemicals
c) only natural molecules
d) molecules of carbon
The Attempt at a Solution
I think the answer is c) because organic chemistry looks at molecules of (dead) plants, animals and fossil fuels, to name a few. All of these are natural compounds. I know that a) is not the answer, because not all molecular compounds are studied. I also doubt the answer is b), because petrochemicals only come from petroleum, which is not the only focus in organic chemistry. However, I am not sure whether the answer could be d). Any help would be appreciated.
