TRUE OR FALSE

ORGANIC AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

F
1. Organic compounds can be
distinguished through the
presence of functional
groups.
2. Organic compounds
include most of the
compounds of carbon,
especially those with carbon-
hydrogen bonds.
3. Inorganic compounds are
derived from minerals and
other noncarbon compounds.
4. Carbon-carbon bonds are
strong. This makes long
chains of carbon atoms
impossible
5. Carbon and hydrogen have
similar electronegativities.
Thus, they are both
considered nonpolar.

6. It was initially thought that
non-living matters can
synthesize organic
compounds and the decay
products are from inorganic
compounds.
7. Most of the organic
compounds are molecular in
compounds.
8. Inorganic compounds are
mostly low in polarity
because they are nearly
nonpolar.
9. A pi bond is a covalent
bond formed by overlapping
orbitals with their electron
density concentrated below
the plane of the nuclei.
10. Acetylene molecule
contains a carbon-carbon
triple bond.
