Question

What is nacl monosaccharide disaccharide organic or inorganic?

Answer 1

inorganic Let's look at the choices and see why they work, or don't work. monosaccharide * Otherwise known as a simple sugar. And NaCl is definitely not a sugar of any type. So this is wrong. disaccharide * Complex sugar. And NaCl doesn't qualify either. organic * A definition of an organic compound is one that has carbon in it. NaCl has sodium and chlorine. No carbon at all, so this isn't the right answer. And I wish that organic was an earlier choice, since the sugars mentioned above are organic compounds. inorganic * This is the only possible choice. Salt is not an organic compound since it doesn't have carbon. So it can't be a sugar either. But it can and is inorganic.
