Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides (also known as haloalkanes) are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine)

Aldehydes and Ketones.
An aldehyde is an organic compound in which the carbonyl group is attached to a carbon atom at the end of a carbon chain. A ketone is an organic compound in which the carbonyl group is attached to a carbon atom within the carbon chain.

Alcohols
Alcohols are organic molecules assembled from carbon (C), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) atoms. When 2 carbons are present, the alcohol is called ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol). Ethanol is the form of alcohol contained in beverages including beer, wine, and liquor.
-
Alkynes
Molecules that contain a triple bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkynes. The triple bond is made up of one σ bond and two π bonds.
-
Alkenes
Alkenes are defined as either branched or unbranched hydrocarbons that possess at least one carbon–carbon double bond (CC) and have a general formula of CnH2n [1].
-
Alkanes
Alkanes are hydrocarbons in which the carbon atoms are held together by single bonds. Their general formula is CnH2n+2 for molecules which do not contain ring structures.
-
Acid Halides
Acid halide, neutral compound that reacts with water to produce an acid and a hydrogen halide. Acid halides are ordinarily derived from acids or their salts by replacement of hydroxyl groups by halogen atoms.

Examples
Some common examples of organic compounds include sugar, starch, cellulose, oil, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, hormones, and DNA. Organic compounds are an important topic in chemistry, and they are studied in many different fields, including biology, medicine, and materials science.

Definition
organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen.

Introduction
An organic compound is defined as any compound whose molecules contain carbon and hydrogen ( also known as ” hydrocarbons” ) or compound that is the derivative of it.
