Question

Compound A melts at 801o C and is soluble

Answer 1

Explanation:

Organic compounds are defined as the compounds which contain carbon as their main element. For example, $CH_{3}OH$ 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 $801^{o}C$ 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 $24^{o}C$ 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.
