Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To determine if all organic compounds can only be synthesized in living organisms or not.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
To determine organic compounds synthesized in the lab have the same chemical and physical properties as same as those synthesized in living organisms.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
(c)
Interpretation:
To determine that the chemist have synthesized many organic compounds that are not found in nature.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
