Question

Are the following compounds organic or inorganic - `C_2H_2`, `C_6H_4CH`, `C_6H_6`, `NH_3`, `H_2O`, `CH_3CHO`, `NH_4OH`, and `B_6O`?

Answer 1

Well, what does an organic compound always contain?

Explanation:

I'll split them into organic and inorganic compounds:

`ul(mathbf("Organic")color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaa)mathbf("Inorganic")`

`C_2H_2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)NH_3`

`C_6H_4CHcolor(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)H_2O`

`C_6H_6color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)NH_4OH`

`CH_3CHOcolor(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaa)B_6O`

Do you see a pattern between organic compounds and inorganic compounds?

Answer 2

Organic compounds are those compounds that has majorly Carbon to Carbon bonds, while Inorganic compounds does not..

Explanation:

Organic compounds can also contain Hydrogen, Oxygen, Anime, but the major factor is the presence of Carbon to Carbon bonds.

`C-C - > "Bonds"`

Examples;

`C_2H_2, C_6H_4CH, C_6H_6, CH_3CHO`

Inorganic compounds are simply compounds that is not an Organic Compound,it can also contain Carbon, but there is no Carbon to Carbon bonds present.

Examples;

`NH_3, H_2O, NH_4OH, B_6O, color(blue)(CO_2, CO)`
