Here’s a clear explanation of the Classification of Organic Compounds, focusing on Open Chain Compounds and Cyclic Compounds, along with their types:

CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Organic compounds are primarily classified based on the arrangement of their carbon atoms into:

1⃣ OPEN CHAIN COMPOUNDS (Acyclic Compounds)

These compounds contain straight or branched chains of carbon atoms.
They do not form any rings.

Examples:

2⃣ CYCLIC COMPOUNDS (Closed Chain Compounds)

These contain carbon atoms arranged in rings.
They are further classified into two major types:

A. Homocyclic (Carbocyclic) Compounds

Ring contains only carbon atoms.

➀ (i) Alicyclic Compounds

Examples:

➀ (ii) Aromatic Compounds

Examples:

B. Heterocyclic Compounds

Ring contains carbon atoms + other atoms (like O, N, S)

Examples:

Type Sub-type Key Feature Example
Open Chain Acyclic Straight or branched chains Butane
Cyclic Alicyclic Ring of C atoms, non-aromatic Cyclopentane
Aromatic Ring with conjugated Ο€ system Benzene
Heterocyclic Ring with C + other atoms (O, N, S) Furan, Pyridine
