Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Concept Introduction: The compounds that essentially contain carbon atoms along with other atoms in the structure are said to be organic compounds whereas inorganic compounds do not essentially have carbon atoms in their structure.
(b)
Interpretation:
Concept Introduction: The compounds that essentially contain carbon atoms along with other atoms in the structure are said to be organic compounds whereas inorganic compounds do not essentially have carbon atoms in their structure.
(c)
Interpretation: A compound soluble in water should be identified as an organic or inorganic compound.
Concept Introduction: The compounds that essentially contain carbon atoms along with other atoms in the structure are said to be organic compounds whereas inorganic compounds do not essentially have carbon atoms in their structure.
(d)
Interpretation: A compound that has low boiling point should be identified as an organic or inorganic compound.
Concept Introduction: The compounds that essentially contain carbon atoms along with other atoms in the structure are said to be organic compounds whereas inorganic compounds do not essentially have carbon atoms in their structure.
(e)
Interpretation: A compound that contains carbon and hydrogen should be identified as an organic or inorganic compound.
Concept Introduction: The compounds that essentially contain carbon atoms along with other atoms in the structure are said to be organic compounds whereas inorganic compounds do not essentially have carbon atoms in their structure.
(f)
Interpretation: A compound that contains ionic bonds should be identified as an organic or inorganic compound.
