Question

Difference between organic and inorganic nitrogen compounds

Answer 1

Answer:

Organic nitrogen is nitrogen which occurs in organic compounds such as the amino acid that make up proteins, nucleotide that make up RNA and DNA.

Inorganic nitrogen is occurs in non carbon containing compounds such as nitrates

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference between Organic and Inorganic Compounds.

1.

• Organic compounds are characterized by the presence of carbon atoms in them.
• Most inorganic compounds do not have carbon atoms in them (some exceptions do exist)

2.

• Organic compounds consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and their other derivatives.
• They do not possess hydrogen or oxygen and their derivatives

3.

• Organic compounds are said to be more volatile and also highly inflammable.
• These compounds are not inflammable and are non-volatile in nature

4.

• These compounds exist in the form of solids, gases, and liquids.
• These exist as solids.

5.

• These are insoluble in water.
• These are soluble in water and also non-soluble in some of the organic solutions

6.

• These compounds have the carbon-hydrogen bonds.
• These do not have the carbon-hydrogen bonds

7.

• Organic compounds are mainly found in most of the living things.
• These compounds are found in non-living things

8.

• Organic compounds form covalent bonds.
• Inorganic compounds form ionic bonds between the atoms of molecules.

9.

• In most of the aqueous solutions, these are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
• In aqueous solutions, these are known to be good conductors of heat and electricity

10.

• Examples of organic compounds include fats, nucleic acids, sugars, enzymes, proteins and hydrocarbon fuels.
• The example for inorganic compounds includes non-metals, salts, metals, acids, bases, substances which are made from single elements
