ORGANIC AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY (EXPT 1) Flashcards
Contain carbon that is covalently bonded to non-metals.
Organic Chemistry
The study of carbon & carbon compounds.
Organic Chemistry
The primary constituents of all living organisms.
Organic Compounds
It is the study of the formation, synthesis and properties of compounds that do not contain carbon hydrogen bonds.
Inorganic Chemistry
Used as table salt.
Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
Used in computer chips and solar cells.
Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
A well-known gemstone.
Sapphire (Al2O3)
Organic Compounds are (polar/nonpolar) compounds. They DO NOT dissolve in polar solvents.
Nonpolar
Organic Compounds have (high/low) melting points.
Low
Organic Compounds react (faster/slower) than ionic compounds.
Slower
Organic Compounds are (not/highly) flammable.
Highly
Organic Compounds have (high/low) boiling points.
Low
Carbon is able to form __ covalent bonds with other carbon or other elements.
4
Can form a maximum of four bonds.
Carbon
Usually combined with Hydrogen and often bonds with O, S, N and P.
Carbon
Simplest whole number ratio of elements.
