A historically defined class centered on carbon frameworks and their derivatives, with conventional exclusions such as many carbon oxides, carbonates, and carbides.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Organic compounds form a historically bounded class of chemical substances organized around carbon frameworks.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

A functional group is a structural component used to organize recurring reactivity in organic compounds, while the molecular environment modifies its electronic and steric behavior.
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Carbonyl compounds form a broad organic compound class united by a carbonyl functional group but divided into distinct subclasses by the groups attached to its carbon.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

A molecular formula can correspond to several organic constitutions with distinct compounds and properties.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Heterocycles are organic ring systems containing nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or another noncarbon ring atom.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
