Differences between Organic and Inorganic Compounds
Organic compounds
Â
- The presence of carbon elements is necessary for these compounds.
Â
- These compounds have high molecular weight and complex molecular structures.
Â
- These compounds have low melting and boiling points.
Â
- Their molecules usually take part in chemical reactions at a slow pace.
Â
- They are generally insoluble in water but dissolve in organic solvents, alcohol, etc.
Â
- Organic compounds are poor conductors of electricity. They do not ionize.
Â
- These compounds are formed by covalent bonding. 8. Isomerism is found in them.
Â
- The property of catenation is found in them.
Â
Inorganic Compounds
Â
- These compounds are carbon-free except for carbonates, bicarbonates, cyanide, etc.
Â
- Their molecular weight is low and these molecules are relatively simple in structure.
Â
- Their melting and boiling points are usually high.
Â
- The chemical reactions taking place between them are intense.
Â
- They are generally soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents.
