Just remember NCHOPS.Which stands for; Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur, All organic compounds usually have C,H, and O. Most also have nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
All organic compounds have carbon as a common characteristic.
Organic compounds are more common.
Carbon is a common element found in all organic compounds.
They both compose of Atoms (:
METHANE
All organic compounds contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms.
+4 (in most inorganic compounds) and -4 or -3 (in organic compounds)
Common elements found in organic compounds include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. These elements form the building blocks of organic molecules and are essential for the structure and function of living organisms.
What do Carbohydrates, Lipids, Nucleic Acid, and Proteins have in common? They all are Organic compound and contain Carbon.
Sugars and starches are organic compounds. But not all organic compounds are sugars and starches .
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.
Common organic compounds found on nutrition labels include carbohydrates (sugars, fibers, starches), proteins (amino acids), and lipids (fats, triglycerides). Other organic compounds such as vitamins and organic acids may also be listed on nutrition labels.
