What are some examples of organic and inorganic compounds?
From Wikipedia (see link below): An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon; for historical reasons discussed below, a few types of compounds such as carbonates, carbon oxides and cyanides, as well as elemental carbon are considered inorganic Here are a few of each: Organic Compounds: CH 4 methane C 2 H 6 ethane C 2 H 4 ethene C 3 H 8 propane C 3 H 6 propene C 4 H 10 butane C 6 H 6 benzene C 7 H 8 toulene C 6 H 6 O - phenol Inorganic Compounds: NaCl - sodium chloride CO 2 carbon dioxide H 2 O - water NO 2 nitrogen dioxide HCl - hydrochloric acid CuCl 2 copper(II) chloride Fe 2 O 3 iron(III) oxide MgCl 2 magnesium chloride See the Related Questions and Web Links a database and some common groups of organic compounds.
Acid Hydrolysis, Aerobic Alcohol Alkali, Alternative fuel, such as; methane, compressed natural gas hydrogen, coal etc.
Don't be confused by the presence of carbon in these inorganic salts; the carbonates are salts that contain carbonic acid (CO3). They do not have the carbon-hydrogen pairing that would classify them as organic compounds. Salts containing carbonates typically are insoluble in water.
There are exceptions, such as lithium carbonate, ammonium carbonate, and sodium carbonate. Carbonates are the compounds that give carbonated beverages their bubbles. Carbonates have been found on Mars, and astronomers believe the presence of these compounds indicate the possible presence of water.
Inorganic salts are all around you. They are the salt you use on food, the water you drink, and the soap you use to bathe. Inorganic salts can benefit you in surgery or they can harm you in acid rain.
Understanding these compounds and the properties of these salts is an important part in learning the chemistry of the universe. Inorganic chemistry deals with the compounds that, for the most part, do not have carbon, though there are some exceptions.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
