DNA (deoxyribnucleaic acid) in cells and RNA (ribonucleaic acid) are both polymers formed by organic compounds in a natural environment. In so far as organic chemistry is concerned, there are vast quantities of polymer types which can be made using organic molecules.

The individual molecules that make up polymers are called?

Monomers. These are smaller units that bond together to form long chains known as polymers through a process called polymerization.


Organic compounds will not form in the Miller-Urey apparatus if O2 is present Why is this not?

Organic compounds will not form in the Miller-Urey apparatus if O2 is present because oxygen would react with the organic molecules produced, inhibiting the formation of more complex organic compounds. The early Earth's atmosphere was believed to be devoid of oxygen, which allowed for the formation of organic compounds in the Miller-Urey experiment.


Are Organic molecules are made from a small collection of simple precursors?

Yes, organic molecules are generally made from a small collection of simple precursors called monomers. These monomers can join together through chemical bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers, which make up the diverse array of organic compounds found in living organisms.


Why organic compound fused with sodium metal?

It is for the detection of some specific elements in organic compound, in organic compounds elements are bonded through covalent bonds and are not free to move, when organic compounds are fused with sodium metal the elements form ionic compounds with sodium and become free ions in aqueous solution therefore easily may be detected with the help of suitable reagents.


What does carbon and organic compounds almost always contain?

Carbon and organic compounds almost always contain hydrogen atoms. These two elements are commonly found together in organic molecules due to their ability to form stable covalent bonds, resulting in a wide variety of compounds.

What is the name of compounds that contains carbon?

They are termed organic compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons and they are a subset of organic compounds.


Which elements are considered the foundation organic compounds and why?

Carbon and hydrogen are considered the foundation organic compounds because they form the backbone of organic molecules due to their unique bonding properties. Carbon can form four covalent bonds, allowing for a wide variety of complex and diverse organic compounds to exist. Hydrogen commonly bonds with carbon to form the organic compounds found in living organisms.


What will form when two compounds are chemically combined?

organic compound and in organic compound


What types of atoms form organic compounds?

Main source of organic compounds is?

The main source of organic compounds is living organisms, such as plants and animals. These organisms synthesize organic compounds through processes like photosynthesis or digestion of organic matter. Organic compounds are essential for life as they form the basis of biological molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.


What do organic molecules form?

By chemical reactions they form other compounds. They are the base of life.


Does sulfur hydrogen and plutonium have organic compounds?

Yes, sulfur, hydrogen, and plutonium can be found in organic compounds. Sulfur is commonly found in amino acids, such as cysteine and methionine. Hydrogen is present in virtually all organic compounds, as it forms covalent bonds with carbon. Plutonium can be incorporated into organic compounds through synthetic processes in laboratories, but naturally occurring organic compounds with plutonium are rare.

There are literally THOUSANDS of glues, so a question like this is impossible. Please Name your Glue and you will get a good answer.


What small organic molecules form carbohydrate chains?

Carbohydrates are a class of nutrients. All nutrients have monomers which are the organic building blocks of polymers. Under carbohydrates, there are the polymers, polysaccarides, and the monomers, monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are linked together through condensation (dehydration) reactions to form chains of disaccharides and polysaccarides.
