Name three examples of organic compounds.

• Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, ammonia

• Methane, glucose, ethanol

• Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium

• Water, salt, oxygen

What are the characteristics of organic compounds?

• Composed of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen and may contain other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus

• May contain only carbon and oxygen

• Composed of nitrogen atoms bonded to hydrogen

• Composed of carbon atoms bonded to helium

Give three examples of inorganic compounds.

• 1. Sodium chloride (NaCl) 2. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) 3. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

• 1. Water (H2O)

• 2. Carbon dioxide (CO2)

• 3. Glucose (C6H12O6)

What are the properties of inorganic compounds?

• Are always organic in nature

• Do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds

• Always have a liquid state at room temperature

• Contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds

What are the uses of inorganic compounds?

• Multiple uses in different industries

• Not used in any practical applications

• Limited to scientific research only

• Only used in cooking

How do organic compounds differ from inorganic compounds in terms of their structure and properties?

• Organic compounds contain carbon and are typically found in non-living things, while inorganic compounds do not contain carbon and are often found in living organisms.

• Organic compounds do not contain carbon and are often found in non-living things, while inorganic compounds contain carbon and are typically found in living organisms.

• Organic compounds contain carbon and are typically found in living organisms, while inorganic compounds do not contain carbon and are often found in non-living things.

• Organic compounds and inorganic compounds have the same structure and properties.
