Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To determine if all organic compounds contain one or more atoms of carbon or not.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
Answer to Problem 10.7P
One or more carbon atoms are present in all the organic compound. Thus, the statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
The carbon can form strong bonds with other atoms in an organic compound. The organic compounds are chemical compounds for the living things and they have the carbon atoms. These carbon atoms form a bond that are strong and can link with four atoms of other molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
To determine if the majority of organic compounds are built from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
Answer to Problem 10.7P
The majority of all the organic compounds are formed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Thus, the statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
The carbon atom can form string bond which are stable with the other atoms of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. The carbon present in all the organic compounds form a strong stable bond with the atoms of nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.
(c)
Interpretation:
To determine if the carbon atom is abundant in earth’s crust.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
Answer to Problem 10.7P
The carbon atom is not the abundant element present in earth’s crust. Thus, the statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
The carbon is present in the atmosphere widely in the form of carbon dioxide but in the earth’s crust it is only of 0.18%.
The carbon is present in the nature only as a combined element and in the earth’s crust it is only in minimum amount when compared to silicon and oxygen.
(d)
Interpretation:
To determine if the organic compounds are soluble in water.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds are the chemical compounds that includes a huge class of gas, liquid and solid molecules that consists of one or more carbon atoms which are linked by covalent bond to other atoms.
Answer to Problem 10.7P
Most of the organic compounds are insoluble in water. Thus, the statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
Most of the organic compounds are insoluble in water as these compounds are non-polar on nature. The organic compounds are non-polar, and water is a polar solvent.
