Organic Chemistry (CH-12-03)

Why it matters: shifts from inorganic/physical chemistry to the carbon-based chemistry underlying most real-world materials, fuels, and biological molecules — the hydrocarbon → alcohol → acid → ester reaction pathway built across this focus area's four sub-topics is the connective thread for Applying Chemical Ideas later in the course.

Focus area landing page only. Sub-topics below will be built to full depth (Core, plus Advanced/Extension where a genuine hook exists) in teaching order — see the site's build-order note in project.md Section 3a, and the full content checklist in Section 7c.
