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. All molecules of compounds must contain atoms of two or more different elements.Molecules composed only of atoms of the same element are called polyatomic elements, not compounds.Some examples of polyatomic elements are:diatomic elements - hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, chlorinetriatomic elements - ozone (an alternate form of oxygen that is very reactive)
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?
Any organic compound MUST contain carbon. Organic chemistry is based on the chemistry of carbon compounds.
Is cesium and chlorine a organic compound?
NO!!! THey are both elements in the Periodic Table. Organic compounds MUST contain CARBON. Caesium and Chlorine , when combined, form the INORGANIC salt 'caesium chloride'; (CsCl).
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).
