What is true of most organic compounds?
Most of the organic compounds are solids, combustible, non polar and insoluble in water.
What are some characteristics of inorganic compound?
inorganic solids are mostly disolve able in water but the organic like benzene never ever dissolves in water similarly boiling points of in organic like NaCl are high as compared to organic example ether and petrol also gasoline
Does water only dissolve inorganic compounds?
Water can dissolve organic compounds that are capable of hydrogen bonding. This would be organic compounds that contain a hydroxy group or amines. Remember that amines will not form hydrogen bonds in aromatic groups and their solubility in water decreases with increase in carbon atoms.
Are organic compounds less soluble in water?
Organic compounds have to be defined as best as possible to determine what is soluble in water. Organic compounds are molecules composed with carbons--pure hydrocarbons like octane would not be soluble in water. Organic compounds can also have electronegative molecules in it. Dichloroethane, methanol, ethanol, etc are soluble in water. However, most organic compounds will more likely have low solubility in water, since increasing the number of carbon molecules in any compound drastically reduces water solubility.
What are physical properties which can often be applied for the identification of unknown organic compounds?
The bottom layer should be water since toluene has a density of around 0.87 g/mL.
Why in cannizzaro reaction the aqueous layer become the bottom layer and the organic layer become the upper layer in the separating funnel?
Because the density of water more than the density of organic compounds
Why does water float on oil?
The oils have low density as compared to water and oils are non polar organic compounds while water is a polar compound, so oil can not mix with water and floats on waters surface.
What is the difference in the solubility of organic and inorganic compounds in water and in organic solvents?
In general, inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar or inorganic solvents such as water, whereas organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents. However there are many exceptions to these.
Are water salt and ammonia inorganic compounds or organic compounds?
Water, salt and ammonia are inorganic compounds.
Do organic compounds dissolve in water?
As a rule, polar compounds dissolve in water. Most of the organic compounds are non polar, so they do not dissolve in water. polar organic compounds like ethyl alcohol, suger. Acetic acid etc dissolve in water, because they are polar in nature.

What are characteristics of inorganic compounds?
inorganic solids are mostly disolve able in water but the organic like benzene never ever dissolves in water similarly boiling points of in organic like NaCl are high as compared to organic example ether and petrol also gasoline
Why are ionic compounds insoluble in organic compounds?
It isn't strictly true, but generally ionic compounds are not highly soluble in organic solvents because ionic compounds need a highly polar solvent to dissolve well (such as water) and in general organic compounds are not as polar as water. Remember, like dissolves like. However, many ionic compounds are very soluble in a variety of organic solvents, just not as much as in water.

What is A family of organic compounds that are soluble in organic solvents but not water called?
lipid
