Question
State which are organic and which are inorganic compounds.
Answer
Organic compounds are those that contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, often along with other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens. Examples of organic compounds include sugars, proteins, fats, and hydrocarbons.
Inorganic compounds, on the other hand, are those that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. They can still contain carbon atoms, but they are typically bonded to other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, or metals. Examples of inorganic compounds include water, salts, acids, and bases.
