  • The majority of organic compounds are composed of a relatively small number of elements.
  • The most important ones are: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, halogen, phosphorus.
  • Elementary qualitative analysis is concerned with the detection of the presence of these elements.
  • The identification of an organic compound involves tests such as detection of functional group, determination of melting/boiling points, etc.
