What are the chemical properties of an organic compound?

Organic compounds are compounds based on carbon. They contain carbon and hydrogen, and can also contain other nonmetal elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, or halogen atoms. The properties of organic compounds are very different from the properties of inorganic compounds that you have been using up to this point.

Which part of an organic compound determines chemical properties?

functional group
The alkyl part carbon chain of an organic compound determines its physical properties whereas the functional group determines its chemical properties.

What are the six physical properties of organic compounds?

Six physical properties chemists can observe about organic compounds are color, melting point, boiling point, solubility, physical state, or odor….

What are the parts of an organic compound?

Four elements, hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen, are the major components of most organic compounds.

What determines the physical properties of a compound?

Properties that can be determined without changing the composition of a substance are referred to as physical properties. Characteristics such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, color, odor, etc. Reactions of a substance, either with itself or with another substance are chemical properties.

What are the 8 organic compounds?

Some of the important functional groups in biological molecules include: hydroxyl, methyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amino, phosphate, and sulfhydryl groups. These groups play an important role in the formation of molecules like DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Do all organic compounds have the same physical and chemical properties?

Compounds have NEITHER the same chemical properties NOR the same physical properties as their constituent elements.

What are chemical properties of carbon compounds?

Carbon has a unique property of direct bonding between atoms of the same element to form long chains, to form branches, or to form close structures. This property is known as catenation. No wonder, it can form an almost infinite number of compounds, most of which are chemically organic in nature.
