Sarmiento discusses the importance of understanding the history of organic chemistry to appreciate the progress made in the field and avoid past mistakes. Organic chemistry deals with carbon-based compounds found in living things, like sugars and alcohols, while inorganic chemistry is concerned with non-living substances like salts and gases. Sarmiento also notes they will discuss classifications of organic compounds.

1. History of organic chemistry and its importance.
- The importance of these milestones and history is we’d see the progress that our science has made, it shows us difference perspectives as well. Much like any history, it’s important for us to understand and study these for us to not repeat the mistakes and appreciate the value of it. 2. Compare organic to inorganic chemistry. - To simply differentiate the two parts chemistry, organic chemistry deals and studies organics and compound that has carbon like sugar, methane, and ethanol. These are also usually bonded with the help of Hydrogen. Inorganic chemistry on the other hand is concerned with the properties and the behaviors of inorganic or non-living things, example of these are quartz, table salt, and carbon dioxide.
