Question

1. Explain the difference between organic and inorganic materials and give some examples.
2. Discuss the importance and use of common names, condensed structural, and skeletal formulas for ketones.

Answer 1

Key differences between organic and inorganic materials are mentioned below:-

ORGANIC MATERIALS	INORGANIC MATERIALS
Organic compounds possess carbon in them. They consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and other derivatives. Generally, they are insoluble in water and volatile in nature. Mostly form covalent bonds. The rate of reaction is slow in them. Examples of organic materials are fats, sugars, hydrocarbon fuels, etc.	Generally, inorganic compounds do not possess carbon atoms. They do not possess carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and its derivatives. Generally, they are soluble in water and polar solvents and also non-volatile in nature. Mostly form an ionic bond. They have generally, fast rate of reaction. Examples of organic materials are metals, acids, bases, non-metals, etc.

Importance and use of common names, condensed structural, and skeletal formulas for ketones are as follows:-
