ORGANIC CHEMISTRY By Morrison and Boyd

 

Organic Chemistry by Morrison and Boyd is a very well compiled 

organic chemistry book.

Building on the very basics and fundamental concepts of structure, 

bonding, and energetics, it explains the different types of molecules, 

their physical and chemical properties and bonding situations in a very 

understandable and easy way.

Highly recommended for undergraduate students. 

The book comprises of 36 chapters, divided into three parts.
