Answer

Due to unique nature of carbon atoms, which includes tetravalency, catenation and leading to formation of isomers, millions of organic compounds are known or synthesized [almost 90% of all known compounds are organic in nature]. Hence, a separate branch of chemistry called Organic Chemistry is required for the study of carbon and its compounds.
