Organic Chemistry began when Antoine Laurent Lavoisier showed how chemical composition can be determined by identifying and measuring the amount of water, carbon dioxide, and other materials produced when various substances are burned in the air. Analysis of the combustion process carried out on substances derived from natural sources concludes that the substance contains carbon, and finally a new definition of organic chemistry emerges: organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. this is the definition used until now.
