  • All organic compounds contain carbon. 
  • Carbon atoms show catenation property in which carbon atoms combine with other carbon atoms to form long chains and rings. 
  • Carbon atom can also form multiple bonds with other carbon atoms and with atoms of other elements. 
  • Due to this property of self-linking of carbon, a large number of organic compounds like proteins, DNA, sugar, oils, etc., are formed.

Thus,

The unique property of catenation of carbon makes organic chemistry a separate branch of chemistry.
