What are alicyclic compounds?

Alicyclic compounds are organic compounds that contain one or more carbon-carbon rings, but do not have aromatic properties like benzene. These compounds can be classified as cycloalkanes (saturated alicyclic compounds) or cycloalkenes (unsaturated alicyclic compounds). They are commonly found in natural products and can exhibit diverse chemical and physical properties.


It is true for all compounds Composition of ionic compounds Which is NOT true of compounds Which is?

The statement that all compounds have a composition of ionic compounds is false. Many compounds can be covalent in nature, where atoms share electrons instead of transferring them. On the other hand, it is true that compounds have a definite composition with fixed ratios of elements and compounds are formed by the bonding of two or more different elements.


What are the covalent compounds?

Covalent compounds share electronsCovalent compounds are neutralB.The compounds share electrons.C.The compounds show no charge.D.The compounds are named with Greek prefixes.


Are carbon and hydrogen compounds organic?

Yes, compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen are generally considered organic compounds. Organic chemistry focuses on studying these types of compounds and their reactions. However, not all compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are considered organic; some inorganic compounds also contain these elements.


How can molecular compounds be distinguished from ionic compounds?

Many ionic compounds exist as crystals but covalent compounds as molecules (there are exceptions as diamond though). Ionic compounds would be good electrical conductors unlike molecular compounds.

How can drugs with peptide bonds be made more stable?

The peptide bond is unstable as it has issues with pharmacokinetic liability. The amide bond can hence be changed to another bioisostere to increase the stability of the drug. Examples include the ester bond and the olefinic double bond.
