Question

August kekule described the various ring structures of the carbon compound benzene. What type of chemist would he be considered today? A. Inorganic chemist B. Organic chemist C. Physical chemist D. Biochemist

Answer 1

Answer:

Organic chemist

Explanation:

Due to catenation property of carbon it is able to form a large number of compounds. To study those compounds, we have classified them as organic compound. The previous definition of organic compound was that the compounds which are obtained from living organism. However after Wholer's synthesis (synthesis of urea from inorganic material) the definition was changed.

so in modern world of chemistry, KeKule (who described the ring structure of benzene) will considered to be an organic chemist as he studied organic compound.

Answer 2

B.  He would be considered an Organic Chemist since Organic Chemistry is the study of Carbon and its compounds.
