Classify each compound as organic or inorganic: a. C8H18 b. CH3NH2 c. CaO d. FeCO3
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the general characteristics of organic compounds, which typically contain carbon and hydrogen, often with C-H bonds.
Recognize that inorganic compounds generally do not have C-H bonds and may include metals, salts, and minerals.
Examine compound a, C8H18: It contains only carbon and hydrogen, indicating it is an organic compound.
Examine compound b, CH3NH2: It contains carbon and hydrogen, along with nitrogen, indicating it is an organic compound.
Examine compounds c, CaO, and d, FeCO3: Both contain metals (calcium and iron, respectively) and do not have C-H bonds, indicating they are inorganic compounds.
