Question

Select the organic compounds. Select all that apply. CO C2H6 CH4 CO2 NaCO2

Answer 1

Answer: The organic compounds are $C_2H_6\text{ and }CH_4$

Explanation:

Organic compounds are defined as the compounds where a covalent bond is present between hydrogen and carbon atoms. These compounds are also known as hydrocarbons.

From the given options:

$CO,CO_2\text{ and }NaCO_2$ does not have a covalent bond between hydrogen and carbon atoms. Thus, these compounds are not considered as an organic compound.

$C_2H_6\text{ and }CH_4$ have a covalent bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms. Thus, these are considered as organic compounds.

Hence, the correct answer is $C_2H_6\text{ and }CH_4$

Answer 2

There are only 2 organic compounds present, C2H6 and CH4. The rest are all inorganic compounds.
