Question

How does organic chemistry differ from inorganic chemistry?

Answer 1

Hint: The chemistry which deals with the study of carbon and hydrogen are called organic chemistry. The chemistry which deals with the study of the chemical compounds which do not contain carbon and hydrogen together.

Complete answer:
- In the question it is asked how we can differentiate organic chemistry from inorganic chemistry.
- The organic compounds have special characteristics and we cannot see those in inorganic chemistry.
- For example there is the existence of covalent compounds in organic chemicals but in inorganic compounds we cannot see more covalent bonds.
- In organic compounds there is an existence of aromatic character but in inorganic compounds there is no existence of it.
- In organic compounds we can see the presence of double or triple bonds. But in inorganic compounds or in inorganic chemistry there is no existence of double or triple bonds.
- Mostly organic compounds exhibit aroma which means smell but inorganic compounds do not show any such type of character.
- Most of the inorganic compounds are solids but organic compounds may exist in solid or in liquid or gaseous states.

Note:
Organic compounds are volatile in nature and inorganic compounds are non-volatile in nature. Organic compounds contain hydrogen bonding sometimes but in inorganic compounds there is no possibility of formation of the hydrogen bonds. In organic compounds there is no concept of formation of salts but in the case of inorganic compounds salts will exist.
