DNA (deoxyribnucleaic acid) in cells and RNA (ribonucleaic acid) are both polymers formed by organic compounds in a natural environment. In so far as organic chemistry is concerned, there are vast quantities of polymer types which can be made using organic molecules.

Energy- rich chemical compounds that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms are callled?
In organic chemistry, those compounds are called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be found in the form of gases, liquids, waxes, and polymers.
Why gasoline can dissolve sticky stuff?
Allot of sticky stiff is made form organic compounds (compounds made mostly out of Carbon). Many organic compounds repel water and thus can not be dissolved in water, to dissolve them you therefore need an organic liquid such as gasoline.
What do condensation polymers and addition polymers have in common?
In both addition and condensation polymers, smaller (usually) organic monomers combine to form a larger molecule. In both cases the polymer formed has different properties than the starting monomers.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds?
Organic compounds are made from things which were once alive and, therefore, they contain carbon. Inorganic compounds, however, do not contain carbon.Carbon is an essential element in all organic compounds while inorganic compounds may or may not contain carbon.Organic compounds do not dissolve in water but dissolve in organic solvents. Most Inorganic compounds dissolve in water but not in organic solvents.Organic compounds have low melting and boiling points. Inorganic compounds have high melting and boiling points.Organic compounds form covalent bonds while inorganic compounds form ionic/electrovalent bonds.Organic compounds have color and odor while inorganic compounds are usually colourless and odorless.Organic compounds e.g. methane, ethane, acetylene, alcohols etc. Inorganic compounds e.g. carbon dioxide, sulphuric acid, salts etc.Organic compounds are produced by living things. Inorganic compounds are produced by non-living natural processes or by human intervention in the laboratory.The presence of carbon determines if a compound is organic or not. All organic compounds have carbon in them.
What are the characteristic properties of organic and inorganic compound?
Some characteristics of organic compounds are that many are gases or solids that have low melting points and they do not conduct electricity. Some characteristics of inorganic compounds are almost all are insoluble inorganic solvents, they do form ions that can conduct electricity, and most have high melting points.
What monomers may be bonded together to form polymers?
Monomers can only for with basically organic compounds to form polymers. In short they can only bond with organic compounds to for polymers
What compounds form molecules?
I am not clear about the answer required here. Elements form molecules. Many compounds form polymers, either naturally or synthetically.
Does sulfur hydrogen and plutonium have organic compounds?
Sulfur and hydrogen form organic compounds, plutonium not.
What will form when two compounds are chemically combined?
organic compound and in organic compound
What is the group of organic compounds used to form parts of a cell?
Carbohydrates, Proteins and Lipids are groups of organic compounds used to form parts of a cell.
Energy- rich chemical compounds that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms are callled?
In organic chemistry, those compounds are called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be found in the form of gases, liquids, waxes, and polymers.
What types of atoms form organic compounds?
carbon-hydrogen
Why organic compounds are polar in nature?
Organic compounds all have one thing in common: Carbon. The reason Carbon (and organic compounds) are popular in nature is carbon can form lots of bonds and, therefore, attach to many atoms. Carbon can form 4 bonds. Organic compounds are not polar. They are nonpolar. It is possible for part of an organic compound to be polar if the end is an alcohol (OH) or some other polar ion is attached.
What do organic molecules form?
By chemical reactions they form other compounds. They are the base of life.
What small organic molecules form carbohydrate chains?
Carbohydrates are a class of nutrients. All nutrients have monomers which are the organic building blocks of polymers. Under carbohydrates, there are the polymers, polysaccarides, and the monomers, monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are linked together through condensation (dehydration) reactions to form chains of disaccharides and polysaccarides.
What percentage of compounds are organic?
Carbon atoms can form single, double, and triple bonds with each other, and they can form chains, branched chains, and rings. Carbon compounds also have hydrogen atoms as part of their structure, as well as other elements.
Which type of compound will form visible crystals?
Many inorganic or organic compounds form crystals.
