Classification of Organic Compounds

Organic Compounds can be classified into:

Classification based on the structure:

The classification of organic compounds is based on structure such as:

  1. Acyclic or open chain compounds - Acyclic compounds are just opposite to cyclic compounds because their molecules don’t form any ring. It is called open-chain compounds because they have a linear structure.
  2. Cyclic or closed chain compounds - Cyclic compounds are also known as “Ring compounds.”
