Organic compounds always contain hydrocarbons (carbon & hydrogen); any other elements in the compound (e.g. oxygen or nitrogen) form the functional group, which is the reactive part of the compound & defines the compounds name.
The definition of Organic Chemistry is the chemistry of the compounds of Carbon. This indicates that the most prevalent element in organic compounds is Carbon, yet it is closely bonded with Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus, to name but a few.
An organic compound is a molecule that contains at least 1 carbon.
Atoms. (The answer "carbon" is not necessarily true; carbon tetrachloride is a counterexample.)
What else can I help you with?
Are organic compounds made of sugars or starches.?
Sugars and starches are organic compounds. But not all organic compounds are sugars and starches .
Are oganic compounds made of sugars or starches?
Sugars and starch are organic compounds. But all organic compounds are not made of sugars and starch.
Large organic compounds made mostly of carbon and hydrogen with a small amount of oxygen?
organic compounds
What are some Organic compound?
Organic compounds are those made out of Carbon.
What are all organic compounds made out of?
Carbon
All living things are made of organic compounds which contain the element...?
Organic compounds contain the element CARBON (C).
What are compounds called that are made of carbon?
You may be referring to organic compounds. All organic compounds contain carbon but all compounds that contain carbon are not necessarily organic. A more general term would be carbonaceous.
What atom are organic compounds made of?
Any compound MUST be made up of atoms of more that one type - otherwise they are not compounds. The only common characteristic of organic compounds is that they contain atoms of carbon, but a lump of pure carbon need not be organic.
Substances that contain carbon and come from living things?
It is called organic compounds (made from living organisms, or used to be). It was only in the nineteenth century when organic compounds could be made in the laboratory from inorganic substances (gas, rocks, minerals, etc.)
What are organic compounds made of sugar and starches?
Carbohydrates.
Are All man-made and most carbon-based compounds organic?
No, not all man-made and most carbon-based compounds are considered organic. Organic compounds specifically contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, along with other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and more. Some man-made compounds, while carbon-based, do not fit this definition and are not considered organic.
What do organic compounds and inorganic compounds have in comin?
They all are made up of atoms / elements.
