What is another name for carbon compounds?

Another name for carbon compounds is organic compounds. These compounds are based on carbon and typically also contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements. They are found in all living organisms and are essential for life.


Which element is considered the foundation for making organic compounds?

Carbon is fundamental to all organic compounds. Organic compounds contain one or more C-H or C-C bonds. All organic compounds contain carbon, but not all carbon-containing compounds are organic, such as carbon dioxide.Carbon is the foundation for making organic compounds. Every organic contains carbon. Hydrogen is also present in every organic compound.


H2O CO2 and NaCl are all examples of what?

They are all molecules and they are all compounds. H2O and CO2 are Covalent bonded molecules NaCl is an Ionically bonded compound. NB Any substance that has different elements in combination is a COMPOUND.


Are all compounds made by sharing electrons?

No, not all compounds are made by sharing electrons. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.


Can oxygen be liberated from all oxygen containing compounds?

No, oxygen cannot be liberated from all oxygen-containing compounds. Some compounds contain oxygen in a very stable form, such as in water (H2O), where the oxygen is tightly bound to hydrogen. Releasing oxygen from these compounds would require significant energy input.
