Organic Compounds Mind Map: Key Branches
Organic compounds are molecules built mainly from carbon, usually bonded to hydrogen and often to oxygen, nitrogen or halogens. A mind map of this topic starts with the carbon skeleton and then divides compounds by structure and by function. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen, while functional groups such as alcohols, carboxylic acids and amines determine how a molecule reacts.
- Hydrocarbons: alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, plus aromatic rings
- Functional groups: alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids
- Nitrogen compounds: amines and amides
- Biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids
- Reaction types: substitution, addition and elimination
Use the map to revise by naming each family, its functional group and one example reaction. To build a map matched to your own course notes, create one with CogniGuide.

Organic Compounds Mind Map Questions
Answers about organic compound families and making your own study map.
What is the difference between hydrocarbons and functional groups?
Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen. Functional groups are specific arrangements of atoms, such as hydroxyl or carboxyl groups, that give a compound its characteristic reactions and properties.
Why are alkanes, alkenes and alkynes grouped together?
They are all hydrocarbons, distinguished by their carbon to carbon bonds. Alkanes have only single bonds, alkenes have one or more double bonds, and alkynes have at least one triple bond.
Which files can I upload to build an organic compounds map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also just type the topic.
Is the organic compounds map free, and can it become a quiz?
There is a free plan with 5 creations a week and no payment needed. You can turn any finished map into a quiz to test yourself.
