Question

What are the properties of organic compounds determined by?

Answer 1

The properties of organic compounds is determined by A) Their boiling point.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An organic compound is a compound which contains a carbon and hydrogen atom.

For example, $CH_{4}$ is a methane because the suffix "ane" determines alkane as the functional group present in it.

Therefore, an organic compound also include a functional group because of which without any test we can identify that it is an organic compound.

Some functional groups are -OH, COOH, C=O, -$NH_{2}$ etc.

Thus, we can conclude that the properties of organic compounds are determined by their functional group.
