Friedrich Wöhler
inorganic compounds are just simply defined as compounds containing carbon atoms, while organic compounds are those compounds lacking carbon. True or False
False - organic compounds are just simply defined as compounds containing carbon atoms, while inorganic compounds are those compounds lacking carbon.
The compound formula is adequate to define because compounds differ in how atoms are bonded together. True or False
False - not adequate
compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures.
