Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compounds
Concept introduction:
A compound is a chemical substance that is composed of atoms connected to each other by
Inorganic compounds are those compounds that consist of other elements than carbon or have no carbon-carbon bond in their structure. They are derived from minerals.
(b)
Interpretation:
Everyday definition of the term organic with an example of its use is to be determined and comparison with the chemical definition is to be done.
Concept introduction:
Compounds can be classified as organic and inorganic. The organic compound is the class of compound that has carbon-hydrogen bond or carbon-carbon long chains in their structure. They are derived from plants, animals and living organisms.

- 1. There are five structural isomers for hexane, C6H₁4. Draw the five structures using simplified structural formulae. For example, one of the isomers of butane, C4H₁0, could be drawn as CH3CH₂CH₂CH3. Use the same sort of format for the other questions on this page. 2. STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM 3. Draw as many structural isomers as possible for C3H8O. Draw as many structural isomers as you can for CH₂0 containing a benzene ring. 4. Draw as many structural isomers as you can for C4H8O₂ containing the grouparrow_forwardThe clear formula of an active drug substance is given below. Write the closed formula of this compound, it consists of the combination of two organic compounds that we have seen so far. Write the name of these two structures.arrow_forwardDescribe biopolymer and synthetic polymer. Give examples to support your answer Briefly discuss the classification of polymers. Why polymers are widely used in our daily life?arrow_forward
- What are the different kinds of simple reaction of organic compound? Explain each reaction in your own simple description.arrow_forwardIn terms of organic chemistry how do you know if an atom has ionic bonds or covalent bonds and how do you know if it has just one of these or if it has both? Could you provide some examples of what an ionic bond looks like, covalent bond looks like, and what an atom would look like with both of these?arrow_forwardWrite an equation for each of the following reactions. Use molecular and structural formulas and classify the reaction as combustion, addition, substitution, hydro genation, or hydration. (g) Bromine combines with benzene. (h) Propene and HBr combine.arrow_forward
