Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The general formula for an alkane has to be identified from the given set of options.
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.
Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon derivatives are the one in which the compounds contain hydrogen and carbon atoms along with one or more additional elements. The additional elements that can be present in hydrocarbon derivatives are oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine etc.
Hydrocarbons are further classified into two categories. They are saturated hydrocarbons and

- Which of the followings statements is false considering the properties of alkaloids: Select one: a. Some alkaloids are colored, like berberine (orange) and sanguinarine (yellow) b. Caffeine, cocaine, codeine and nicotine are water soluble, whereas others, including morphine and yohimbine are highly water soluble c. Most alkaloids contain oxygen in their molecular structure; those compounds are usually colorless crystals at ambient conditions d.
