Question

Name any two organic compounds belonging to the same chemical class as that of the compound analysed

Answer 1

Answer:

ch4 methane

Explanation:

There are multiple definitions of “organic compounds”. The ancient one that these are compounds synthesized by living beings has long been discarded. One definition insists on the presence of C-H bonds. By that definition, molecules like CCl4 and oxalic acid are not organic. Which seems crazy, because these are typical organic compounds - non polar multi haloalkane and dicarboxylic acid, respectively. Another definition requires the presence of C-C bonds. By that, again CCl4 - and even methane - wouldn’t be organic. The most acceptable definition is that any carbon-containing molecule should be called organic.

Answer 2

Hydrocarbons, Alkanes are examples of organic compounds belonging to the same chemical class.

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons:

• A simple class type of organic compound is hydrocarbons, which contain fully carbon and hydrogen.
• Petroleum and natural gas are complex, naturally occurring compounds of various hydrocarbons that are supplied raw materials for the chemical industry.

The four major classes of hydrocarbons are the following:

• The alkanes contain only carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon single bonds.
• The alkenes that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond,
• The alkynes, which contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond;  
• The aromatic hydrocarbons, which usually contain rings of six carbon atoms that can be drawn with alternating single and double bonds.
• Alkanes are also called saturated hydrocarbons, whereas hydrocarbons that contain multiple bonds (alkenes, alkynes, and aromatics) are unsaturated.

Alkanes:

• Simple alkane is methane (CH4) is a colorless, odorless gas that is an important component of natural gas.  
• In large alkanes, the carbon atoms are attached in an unbroken chain (straight-chain alkanes), with each carbon atom bonding to the other two carbon atoms.
• The names of all alkanes end in - ane, and their boiling point increases as the number of carbon atoms increases.
