What else can I help you with?
Are molecular compounds usually non-metals?
Yes, most molecular compounds do not contain metals. (The term "nonmetal" properly applies only to elements, not compounds.)
Why CO2 is inorganic?
CO2 is considered inorganic because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, which are characteristic of organic compounds. Inorganic compounds typically do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are derived from minerals or non-living sources.
How did the term aromatic compounds originate?
The term "aromatic compounds" originated in the 19th century when early chemists noticed that certain organic compounds had a strong and pleasant smell. These compounds were originally thought to contain a specific "aroma," hence the name "aromatic compounds." However, it was later discovered that the term refers to a class of organic compounds with a specific electron delocalization pattern.
Do all compounds contain carbon?
No. The term 'compound' refers to any pure substance made up of molecules that contain multiple different elements. By definition, a compound must contain carbon to be considered organic. Inorganic compounds may also contain carbon (CO2, CO, H2CO3). So, all organic compounds contain carbon.
What are the organic compounds?
the term 'organic' was used only for those substance which were obtained from animals and plant sources and could not be prepared in laboratory those compound which do not contain oxygen and metals
What are chlorides?
Chlorides are compounds that contain chlorine in the 1- oxidation state. The term usually refers to compounds with the Cl- ion such as sodium chloride. However it is sometimes applied to covalent compounds such as methyl chloride.
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.
A group of molecules that contain carbon?
Carbides, but there are sooooo many possible carbon molecules that it's unlikely you'll come across that term. All organic compounds and many inorganic compounds (carbonates, carbides) contain carbon.
What term is specific to reactions in which simple compounds are combined into more complex?
The term specific to reactions where simple compounds combine to form more complex molecules is called a synthesis or combination reaction. In this type of reaction, two or more reactants come together to form a single product.
What is the difference between Organic and Inorganic?
There is no perfect rule for the difference between organic and inorganic.-The Main difference is that organic compounds contain Carbon. Inorganic compounds don't.Organic: a molecule with carbonInorganic: a molecule without carbon-Organic compounds contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. Inorganic compounds do not. Some examples of organic compounds are oils, lipids and proteins.-Some compounds that contain carbon are considered inorganic. They include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, the carbonates and cyanides. Also considered inorganic are all the interesting allotropes of carbon such as diamonds, graphite, buckyballs and nanotubes.
What term do we collectively apply to compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonding?
The general term hydrocarbons is applied to compounds containing carbon-hydrogen bonds (and only the elements hydrogen and carbon). The basic string starts like this: methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), .... Check out the Wikipedia post on hydrocarbons. You'll find a link to their article below.
What is the term for compounds that contains only two elements?
A diatomic molecule A dinuclear molecule
