Is a white solid organic or an inorganic substance?

A white solid can be either organic or inorganic depending on its chemical composition. Organic substances contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, while inorganic substances do not. Conducting a chemical analysis can help determine whether the white solid is organic or inorganic.


What anatomical characteristics determines whether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?

Neurons are grouped structurally according to the number of processes extending from their cell body.


What properties can help you determine whether a substance is molecular or ionic?

Examples: melting and boiling points, solubility in water or organic solvents, chemical composition.


What determines whether energy will be released or absorbed during a chemical reaction?

The difference in energy between the products and reactants of a chemical reaction determines if energy will be released or absorbed. If the products have lower energy than the reactants, energy will be released in the form of heat or light. If the products have higher energy, then energy will be absorbed.


What are the definition of toxic organic chemicals?

Any chemical which, through its chemical action on life processes, can cause death, temporary incapacitation, or permanent harm to humans or animals. This includes all such chemicals, regardless of their origin or of their method of production, and regardless of whether they are produced in facilities, in munitions or elsewhere called toxic organic chemicals.

What determines whether a substance is hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

The chemical structure of a substance determines whether it is hydrophobic (repels water) or hydrophilic (attracts water). Hydrophobic substances have non-polar molecules that do not interact well with water, while hydrophilic substances have polar molecules that can form bonds with water molecules.

Is french toast organic or inorganic?

French toast, and all other foods, are "organic" in the sense that they are composed of carbon molecules. Whether French toast is "organic" in the sense of being all natural without any artificial ingredients or traces of chemical animal feed, preservatives, etc., would depend on whether it was made with organic milk, organic bread and organic eggs. The term "inorganic" is not used to refer to foods with artificial additives.
