What are the two major types of compound substance?
Organic and Inorganic Compounds .. .. .. .. .. I think.....
What is inorganic compounds?
hardens, specific gravity and color.
What compound that is inorganic A Nucleic acid B protein C fat D water E carbohydrate?
The compounds called organic are those which contain carbon and hydrogen as the major element in their structures or basicall carbon compounds are called organic compound so in above options water is inorganic as it does not contain carbon
The major difference between inorganic and organic compounds is that inorganic compounds are usually?
Inorganic compounds are usually not composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Organic compounds are composed of carbon and hydrogen, although sometimes the hydrogen atoms get replaced by other elements. Sodium chloride, a very important compound in living things, is composes of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl), and is inorganic. Iron oxide, Fe2O3 is rust, composed of the metal iron and the element oxygen, and is also inorganic. The carbohydrate glucose, essential to life, has the molecular formula C6H12O6, which contains carbon and hydrogen, as well as oxygen, and is organic. Methane, CH4, is the simplest hydrocarbon and is natural gas used for powering appliances in some homes, and is also an organic compound.
Are lipids organic compounds?
Lipids are an organic compound. Lipids are one of four major categories of all living things. The other three are carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Are lipids an organic compounds?
Lipids are an organic compound. Lipids are one of four major categories of all living things. The other three are carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
What are the major branches of the chemistry?
There are five major branches of chemistry: Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical.
The four major families of organic compounds?
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids are the 4 Major Families of Organic Compounds.
Are molecules organism?
Organic molecules are the chemicals of life, compounds composed of more than one type of element, that are found in, and produced by, living organisms. The feature that distinguishes an organic from inorganic molecule is that organic contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, whereas inorganic molecules do not. The four major classes of organic molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
What are the roles of organic molecules?
Organic molecules are the chemicals of life, compounds composed of more than one type of element, that are found in, and produced by, living organisms. The feature that distinguishes an organic from inorganic molecule is that organic contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, whereas inorganic molecules do not. The four major classes of organic molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
What is a major component of organic compounds?
Carbon!
What is the 5 division of chemistry?
Organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, and your guess is as good as mine. Biochemistry? Polymer chemistry? Surface chemistry? Theoretical chemistry? Nuclear chemistry? Depending on your bias any of those might be regarded as a subdivision of one of the Big Four or as a largely independent field of study. According to my textbook (Grade 11 Chem) they are Organic, Inorganic, Analytical, Physical and Biochemistry.
