Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Given statement is true or false has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the important basis of life. They include gasoline, coal, dyes, and clothing fibers etc. The compounds that are obtained from living organisms are termed as organic compounds and those obtained from the earth are known as inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are found in earth also apart from living organisms. All the organic compounds contain the element carbon. Urea was synthesized in the laboratory which is an organic compound.
Compounds are classified into organic compounds and inorganic compounds. Approximately there are about 10 million organic compounds but only 1.7 million inorganic compounds. The ratio between organic and inorganic compounds is 6:1.
Chemists initially thought that a “vital force” supplied by the living organism is necessary for the production of organic compound. This was proved wrong when the compound urea was synthesized in the laboratory.
The compounds that are found in the living organisms are still classified as organic compounds even though many are synthesized in the laboratory.

- 4.2 What is an alkane?arrow_forwardDistinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forwardGive three examples each functional groups in Organic chemistry 1. Carboxylic acid group 2. Aldehyde 3. Ketone 4. Alcohol 5. Esterarrow_forward
