Compound a melts at 801o c and is soluble
inwater.
compound b melts at 24 o c and is insoluble
inwater.

which of the two compounds is more likely to be an organic
compound?
explain our reasoning.

Explanation:

Organic compounds are defined as the compounds which contain carbon as their main element. For example, is an organic compound.

Generally, organic compounds are non-polar in nature and due to the presence of covalent bonding organic compounds have low melting point.

As compound A melts at and is soluble  in water. This means it is an ionic compound as it has high melting point and it is also polar in nature.

Whereas compound B melts at and is insoluble  in water. This means that this compound has covalent bonding and it is also non-polar in nature . Hence, it is more likely to be organic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that compound B is more likely to be an organic

compound.

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again

the right answer is c i just did the question.
