basically yes, that's right. This is the chemistry of carbon and its bonds with other substances.

True or false Carbon atoms can bond together in straight chains?
Yes. Carbon atoms form to create certain types of chains. Straight Carbon Chains, Branched Carbon Chains, and Carbon Rings. Carbon can form single, double or triple bonds. You're welcome
Is it false or true people study chemistry in?
is it true or false People study chemistry in order to explain the natural world.
Does subdivisions of chemistry often overlap true or false?
True
What branch of chemistry deals only with chemical combinations of elements other than carbon?
This, technically, is a trick question. A mostly true, useful answer, but not entirely accurate one is to say, that "Organic chemistry is the study of Carbon compounds. Inorganic Chemistry, is the study of everything else." Here's the problem. Organic Chemistry is a highly dense complex study of all the strange and wonderful properties of carbon that lead it to be the building block of life, and it's end results. Carbon lives a double life, however, and isn't exclusively defined by it's organic strangeness. For example, one of the sub-branches of inorganic chemistry is industrial chemistry. You study that, and discover that carbon is still there, and still doing strange things. Just those strange things (look at diamonds, nano tubes and properties of graphite) are more typical of other elements on the periodic table. So this is Clark Kent carbon, and Organic Chemistry is about Super Man carbon. They are the same thing but operate in different ways. It is true that Organic Chemistry is almost all about carbon, but that doesn't preclude carbon taking various other roles in other branches of chemistry. Why? Because carbon is so common. It can't beat out Hydrogen, naturally, but it is running neck and neck with Nitrogen, which is still insanely common. You can't really do chemistry in the real world for very long without tripping over carbon in some form or compound. I suppose there may be some branch of theoretical Chemistry that attempts to extrapolate properties of a universe without Carbon, but... that's pretty out there. You are unlikely to run into it outside of a sheltered university environment.
The goal of chemistry is to accumulate knowledge?

How the word organic descriptive of most carbon compounds?
The word organic originates from the notion in 19th century that "only" living creatures can produce carbon-containing molecules. Today, we know that this is not true... But, we still use the word "organic" to describe carbon compounds. It is more appropriate to call organic compounds or organic chemistry as carbon compounds and carbon chemistry.
Organic compounds contain carbon atoms that are covalently bonded to other elements typically hydrogen and oxygen and other carbon atoms True or False?
true
Is it false or true people study chemistry in?
is it true or false People study chemistry in order to explain the natural world.
Does subdivisions of chemistry often overlap true or false?
True
What are organic compounds made of?
Organic compounds always contain hydrocarbons (carbon & hydrogen); any other elements in the compound (e.g. oxygen or nitrogen) form the functional group, which is the reactive part of the compound & defines the compounds name.The definition of Organic Chemistry is the chemistry of the compounds of Carbon. This indicates that the most prevalent element in organic compounds is Carbon, yet it is closely bonded with Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus, to name but a few.An organic compound is a molecule that contains at least 1 carbon.Atoms. (The answer "carbon" is not necessarily true; carbon tetrachloride is a counterexample.)
Is it true that some organic compounds do not have carbon?
No, by definition an organic compound contains carbon.
Organic chemistry is the study compounds containing what element?
Organic Chemistry, is a branch of chemistry in which carbon compounds and their reactions are studied. A wide variety of classes of substances-such as drugs, vitamins, plastics, natural and synthetic fibers, as well as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats-consist of organic molecules. Organic chemists determine the structures of organic molecules, study their various reactions, and develop procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds. Organic chemistry has had a profound effect on modern life: It has improved natural materials and it has synthesized natural and artificial materials that have, in turn, improved health, increased comfort, and added to the convenience of nearly every product manufactured today.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Horse Isle - Carbon -DaveyBoy on bay/brown sever

True or false
Are carbon based compounds organic?
All organic compounds contain carbon, but the reverse is not true: metal carbides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and carbonate minerals are not organic.
Is chemistry a branch of physical science True or false?
Chemistry is considered to be a physical science.
