What else can I help you with?
Is phosphorus a compond?
No: phosphorus is an element. Compounds must contain at least two distinct elements.
What 2 elements must a compound have to be considered organic?
Carbon and hydrogen. There are a few definitions of organic compounds but generally they have one or more C-H or C-C bonds. Organic chemistry is the component of chemistry that involves all aspects of organic compounds.
Are compounds made up of two or more elements?
Yes, compounds are made up of two or more elements that are chemically bonded together in fixed ratios. This bonding creates a new substance with unique properties different from the properties of the individual elements.
What organic compounds must contain more than one carbon?
Any organic compounds besides methane and methanol contain more than one carbon.
What elements are in the organic compounds?
All organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen as a minimum. Other elements are found in some organic compounds such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur.
Does a jar with sulfur and iron in it contain a compound?
A jar with sulfur and iron does not contain a compound, as compounds are made up of two or more different elements chemically combined in fixed ratios. Instead, the sulfur and iron would be considered a mixture of elements.
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.
All organic compounds must contain what element?
All organic compounds must contain the element carbon.
Organic compound also contain hydrogen and what?
Organic compounds also contain carbon and oxygen, in addition to hydrogen. These elements are essential in forming the different molecular structures found in organic compounds.
Is cesium and chlorine a organic compound?
No, cesium and chlorine are not considered organic compounds. Organic compounds are those that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, whereas cesium and chlorine are elements without carbon-hydrogen bonds.
What elements must be found in organic compounds?
Carbon.
Which elements must all organic compounds contain?
All organic compounds contain the element carbon. By definition, organic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds that contain Carbon (C).
