Organic compounds do NOT contain which of the following?

Biology
2 answers:
Digiron [165]3 years ago
7 0
<span>In the 19th century is was assumed that organic compounds could only be produced by plants and animals. These compounds all had carbon and hydrogen in common. Some organic compounds also include O, N, the halogens, S and a few other elements.

Now we know that organic compounds can be synthesized in the laboratory. Simple compounds of carbon and hydrogen include the alkanes and alkenes, for instance, as well as aromatics like benzene. But oxygen is a common element in organic compounds like alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and ethers.

So the bottom line is that all organic compounds contain C and H and some contain O as well, but O is not required to be an organic compound.

========= Follow up ==========

Why are these people saying "yes". It's obvious that there are many organic compounds that don't contain oxygen</span>

lidiya [134]
The Cambrian explosion was a period at the Pre-Cambrian boundary of the geologic time scale at 542 Ma. At this boundary, the fossil record shows that animals suddenly appeared in a dramatic radiation of life. A radiation is the relatively rapid development of new types of organisms that derive from a common ancestor. The Cambrian explosion is important because it marks the origination of all major animal groups called phyla.
