When you sort similar items together you classify them is that true?

Yes, classification involves sorting similar items into groups or categories based on shared characteristics or properties. This helps us organize and understand the relationships between different items.


When can you say that substance is organic?

A substance is considered organic when it contains carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. In chemistry, organic compounds are typically associated with living organisms and biological processes. Organic substances can come from natural sources like plants and animals, as well as from synthetic processes in the laboratory.

Is ethel organic or organic?

Ethel is a lady's name. Many ladies are organic, if that is what you wanted to know. Further, I don't know how to distinguish between organic and organic. Ethyl is a chemical term that refers to an organic compound with a backbone of two carbon atoms, such as ethyl alcohol, the stuff in booze. There is a difference between the chemical definition of organic, which refers to chemicals with carbon-hydrogen bonds vs. what you probably are asking about; organic as in USDA approved natural and not synthetic. You will find ethyl "parts" in items that are approved for use in USDA approved organic foods and items that are not approved for use in organic foods, such as ethylene glycol, which is the main ingredient in radiator antifreeze and is poisonous. The short answer is that the question cannot be answered. If you know the entire chemical name, then we have something to work with.
