Answer:
# Organic Compounds
- Organic compounds are characterized by the presence of carbon atoms in them.
- Organic compounds consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and their other derivatives.
- Organic compounds are said to be more volatile and also highly inflammable.
- These compounds exist in the form of solids, gases, and liquids.
- These are insoluble in water.
- These compounds have the carbon-hydrogen bonds.
- Organic compounds are mainly found in most of the living things.
- Organic compounds form covalent bonds.
- In most of the aqueous solutions, these are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
- Examples of organic compounds include fats, nucleic acids, sugars, enzymes, proteins and hydrocarbon fuels.
# Inorganic Compounds
- Most inorganic compounds do not have carbon atoms in them (some exceptions do exist).
- They do not possess hydrogen or oxygen and their derivatives.
- These compounds are not inflammable and are non-volatile in nature.
- These exist as solids.
- These are soluble in water and also non-soluble in some of the organic solutions.
- These do not have the carbon-hydrogen bonds.
- These compounds are found in non-living things.
- Inorganic compounds form ionic bonds between the atoms of molecules.
- In aqueous solutions, these are known to be good conductors of heat and electricity.
- The example for inorganic compounds includes non-metals, salts, metals, acids, bases, substances which are made from single elements.
