 * Organic chemistry** focuses on the properties, reactions, etc. of carbon-based life forms and compounds. Since all life on this Earth is carbon-based, this is a very broad subdivision of chemistry. This branch of chemistry is essential for the development of every day things such as different plastics and ever foods. Through organic chemistry, things such as melting point, boiling point, properties (when the organic substance is a solid, not liquid or gas), and solubility in water or other organic solvents (such as toluene and turpentine (in nail polish remover)). Without this branch of chemistry, products like plastic cups and swimming boards wouldn't exist as we know them.
