1. What are organic Compounds? Organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. The few carbon-containing compounds not classified as organic include carbides, carbonates, and cyanides.
compounds? In human society, organic molecules are used in a variety of industries including foods, pharmaceuticals, fuels, and construction to name a few. Alkanes include chemicals like propane, octane, and methane. These are used extensively as fuels for things like automobile gasoline and home heating/cooking fuel. Alcohols include chemicals like ethanol and isopropanol. These are used as antiseptics and ethanol is a staple of the beverage industry (beer/wine). Finally, carboxylic acids include a wide variety of chemicals including pharmaceuticals. Aspirin, one of the oldest commercial drugs, contains a carboxylic acid.
4. What are hydrocarbons?
A hydrocarbon is an organic compound made of nothing more than carbons and hydrogens. It is possible for double or triple bonds to form between carbon atoms and even for structures, such as rings, to form.
5. How carbon atoms able to form many organic
compounds? The carbon has 4 valence electrons thus it can form covalent bonds with atoms of other elements and carbon atoms. A carbon atom can make many types of arrangements such as single s possible for double or triple bonds to form between carbon atoms and even for structures, such as rings, to form.
6. Differentiate alkane, alkene and alkynes.
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons; meaning a single bond between the carbon atoms; alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons meaning one or more double bonds between carbon atoms; alkynes are also unsaturated hydrocarbons with one or more triple bonds between the carbon atoms. 7. What are hydroxyl group? The hydroxyl group is a functional group consisting of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom. The hydroxyl group is denoted by -OH in chemical structures and has a valence charge of -1. 8. What are carbonyl group? The carboxyl group is an organic functional consisting of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom and single bonded to a hydroxyl group.
