6 Distinguish between organic compounds and inorganic compounds. [Pg.381]

7 Distinguish between hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. [Pg.381]

8 On the basis of structure and the geometry of the identifying group, distinguish among alcohols, ethers, and carboxylic acids. [Pg.381]

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. Carbonates, cyanides, oxides of carbon, and a few other carbon-containing compounds are exceptions that are often classified as inorganic. [Pg.381]
