(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To identify whether boric acid is organic (a) in chemical sense only, (b) in organic farming sense only, (c) in both senses and (d) in no way at all.

Concept introduction:

Organic compounds are those compounds which contain carbon.

There are several compounds which are used in organic farming and also an organic chemical like acetic acidperoxy-acetic acidalcohol etc. There are also some inorganic materials which are used in organic farming like sodium carbonate peroxyhydratecopper sulphateetc. Organic herbicides are those which are made naturally from organic matter not by synthetic pesticides.
