Organic Chemistry-
1. It is a science that deals with the study of Carbon compounds but not all compounds containing under organic compounds.
Non-Organic Compounds a. CO- Carbon monoxide b. CO2- Carbon dioxide c. CO3- Carbonates d. HCO3- Hydrogen carbonates e. CN- -Cyanides
2. There are over millions of compounds and inorganic is approximately 100,000.
3. A science that deals with matter obtained from natural or living sources.
4. Study of Carbon Compounds.
5. According to a combustion analysis compounds derived from natural sources contained Carbon.
6. According to Jons Jacob Berzelius 1807- he was the first person who coined the term Organic Chemistry, that the Organic Chemistry is a study of compound derived from natural sources subscribe also.
Doctrine Vitalism- It is a vital force which was absent in non-living system.
7. The compounds of Carbon constitute the central chemicals of all living things on these planets, it includes DNA- this is the giant molecule containing the genetic information for all living species, it includes protein of our blood, muscles and skin, it makes-up the enzymes- are substances, e.g. amylase and pepsin produce by living cells that are essential to life.
8. Together with the Oxygen in the air we breath Carbon compounds in our diet furnish energy that gives life, Millions of years, most of the Carbon Atom on earth existed in the form of CH4, Methane gas together with water ammonia and hydrogen where the main components of the primordial atmosphere.
The first thing to develop, it has been shown experimentally that when electrical discharges of highly electric radiations in the primordial atmosphere. Many of the compounds become fragmented into highly reactive pieces combined into more complex compounds.
Amino acid
Formaldehyde
Hydrogen cyanide
Purines
Pyrimidines
This compound together with water, ammonia and hydrogen carried by rain into the sea until the sea will becomes vast

    Earth is the only planet in the universe we know supports life and the life indigenous to Earth is the only life we know of in the universe. Although it is possible, and in fact likely when considering the size of the universe, that life exists in forms that we can not at this point conceive of, we are limited in this field by what we know for certain, and that is that all life we've studied is carbon based, evolved in an environment rich in oxygen, nitrogen hydrogen and carbon, and uses water as a solvent to facilitate biochemical reactions. Although alternative biochemistries are entirely possible, and life that is not biochemical but rather electrical or mineral may also be possible, if we open the door to these possibilities this report might never end. For the sake of brevity the information I present here will be based on the assumption that life that life is organic, carbon based, is dependent on some sort of energy source, either tidal, geothermal or solar and requires some sort of solvent, either water, liquid ammonia or liquid hydrocarbons.…

    Origins of Life on Earth

    Recent discovered functions of RNA have suggested that RNA provides a crucial framework in the evolution of the first cells, which may have been assembled from RNA comprised of nucleotides. Sidney W. Fox, a scientist at the University of Miami produced membrane-bound structures known as proteinoid microspheres. These microspheres can carry out some chemical reactions that resemble real living cells. They grow slowly and eventually bud off smaller microspheres. They're not living cells, but they are key in determining the kinds of processes that could have given rise to “self-sustaining protein entities”. It has even been hypothesized that comets and meteorites containing carbonaceous material hit the Earth with great force, and may have been a source of organic compounds such as lipid-like materials. David W. Deamer at the University of California and his co-workers extracted these organic materials from the carbon containing meteorites. Inevitably, some of the molecules assembled into membrane-bound spheres, possibly signifying that this might be how first primitive cells conglomerated. This then brings us to the theories of influential scientists, Russian A.I. Oparin and British scientist J. B. S. Haldane, who hypothesized that earth's organic molecules were formulated from simple molecules.…

    Modern astronomy has allowed us to understand how the universe functions and also provides the answers to some of the big questions. Questions like the origin of the universe and origin of life itself. It tells us that stars are the cosmic furnaces where all most all the building blocks of life and planets were synthesized. Lighter, basic and abundant elements like hydrogen and helium were formed during the Big Bang. During Big Bang, space expansion cooled the early energy dominated universe and a lot of energy transformed into matter. These basic elements were then able to create the early stars and also the stars of today. Inside of these stars lighter elements fused to release large quantities of energy and in the process of doing that converted hydrogen and helium into heavier elementary particles. Such elements would be deposited in the core of the star and are spewed out into surrounding interstellar space when the star dies an explosive death. These newly synthesized heavy elements are essential for life to begin and evolve.1…
