 Physical organic chemistry

Physical organic chemistry is a subdiscipline of chemistry that combines principles from both physical chemistry and organic chemistry to study the relationship between chemical structure and reactivity. It focuses on understanding how the structure of organic molecules influences their physical properties, chemical behavior, and reaction mechanisms. The key aspects of physical organic chemistry include: 1. **Reaction Mechanisms**: Investigating how and why organic reactions occur, including the step-by-step processes (mechanisms) that lead to the transformation of reactants into products.
