organic compounds are substances that have carbon in them. inorganic compounds don't.
carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide Essentially, organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen.
Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of compounds containing carbon, often combined with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements. It focuses on the structure, properties, and reactions of carbon-based compounds. Organic chemistry plays a crucial role in many aspects of everyday life, from pharmaceuticals to materials science.
A molecule is deemed and termed to be organic if it contains Carbon and hydrogen. Methane [CH4] is the simplest example. Carbon forms chains i.e. -C-C-C-C- etc, and has room for two side branches 'to boot!' Organic chemistry is the basis for Biochemistry.
The word organic originates from the notion in 19th century that "only" living creatures can produce carbon-containing molecules. Today, we know that this is not true... But, we still use the word "organic" to describe carbon compounds. It is more appropriate to call organic compounds or organic chemistry as carbon compounds and carbon chemistry.
Hydrogen.
Every single organic thing contains carbon.
Compounds containing carbon are referred to as organic compounds
they are called inorganic compounds
Carbon is a non-metal
Carbon containing compounds found in living things are called organic compounds. Examples of organic compounds are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleotides.
AnswerThe key element is carbon. Organic compounds are all carbon-containing compounds.
Organic compounds
organic compounds are substances that have carbon in them. inorganic compounds don't.
Yes, biochemistry is the study of chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms, which can include carbon-containing compounds such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Carbohydrate
Yes, most carbon containing compounds or pure carbon burn 'chemically' to produce carbond dioxide.
