10 Questions
What is the main difference in the type of bonding between organic and inorganic compounds?
Organic compounds have covalent bonding, while inorganic compounds have ionic bonding.
Which type of compound is more likely to be a good conductor of electricity?
Inorganic compounds
Which of the following statements about the solubility of organic and inorganic compounds is correct?
Inorganic compounds are generally more soluble in polar solvents like water, while organic compounds are more soluble in non-polar solvents.
Why are most organic compounds non-conductors of electricity?
Organic compounds have covalent bonding, which lacks the free-flowing ions required for electrical conductivity.
Which of the following is NOT a common source of organic compounds?
Inorganic minerals
What is the main difference in behavior between sodium chloride (inorganic) and sugar (organic) when heated?
Sodium Chloride undergoes sublimation while sugar decomposes.
Why are organic compounds generally easier to melt compared to inorganic compounds?
Inorganic compounds are bonded by C-H bonds.
What happens to the chemical structure of organic compounds like sugar when they are heated?
They break down or decompose.
Which type of compounds, when dissolved in water, exhibit free-moving ions that can conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds like sodium chloride
What type of bonding is responsible for the strong structure of inorganic compounds?
Ionic bonding
This quiz covers the differences between organic and inorganic compounds with a focus on the melting point variations of Sodium Chloride (Inorganic) and Sugar (Organic) when heated. Understand the concepts of sublimation, decomposition, and major changes observed during heating.
