1. Classification of Organic Compounds based on the structure: Acyclic or open chain compounds Cyclic or closed chain compounds 2. Classification of Organic Compounds based on the functional groups A functional group can be defined as a process in which a molecule receives its characteristic chemical properties from one or group of atoms that exist in the molecule. FYI: Most organic compounds making up our cells and body belong to one of four classes: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
