What is isomerism and why is it a common phenomenon in organic compounds?

Isomerism is the phenomenon where more than one compound is represented by the same molecular formula but has different structural formulas. It is common in organic compounds due to the presence of carbon atoms that can form different arrangements or bonding patterns. Signup and view all the answers

Explain the complexity of organic compounds and provide an example to illustrate it.

Organic molecules are usually large and structurally more complex. For example, starch has the formula (C6H10O5)n where n may be several thousands, and proteins are very complex molecules with molecular masses ranging from a few thousands to a million. Signup and view all the answers

Why do organic compounds generally not give ionic reactions?

Organic compounds are generally covalent compounds, and therefore, do not give ionic reactions. Signup and view all the answers

What are the typical solubility properties of organic compounds?

Most organic compounds are insoluble in water and dissolve readily in non-polar organic solvents, such as benzene and petroleum ether. Signup and view all the answers

Explain the concept of isomerism in organic compounds and provide an example to illustrate it.

Isomerism is a phenomenon where different compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. An example is the isomerism between butane and isobutane. Signup and view all the answers

Why are organic compounds generally covalent and do not give ionic reactions?

Organic compounds are generally covalent because they consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together through covalent bonds. As a result, they do not dissociate into ions and therefore do not give ionic reactions. Signup and view all the answers

Describe the solubility properties of organic compounds and explain why they are generally insoluble in water but dissolve readily in non-polar organic solvents.

Most organic compounds are insoluble in water due to their non-polar nature, while they dissolve readily in non-polar organic solvents because like dissolves like. This is because non-polar solvents can effectively break the non-polar bonds in organic compounds. Signup and view all the answers

What contributes to the structural complexity of organic molecules and provide an example to illustrate this complexity?

Organic molecules are structurally complex due to their large size and intricate arrangements of atoms. An example is starch, which has the formula (C6H10O5)n where n may be several thousands, demonstrating its structural complexity. Signup and view all the answers
