Answer:

Organic compound are mostly compose of carbon while inorganic compounds rarely contains carbon

Molecules associated with living organism are organic while inorganic are devoid of living things.

Organic compound mostly involves bonding of carbon and hydrogen while inorganic compounds rarely involves C -  H bond.

Explanation:

Organic compound can be defined as carbon and it compounds. Organic compound usually contains carbon, bonded mostly with hydrogen and/or other elements. Example of organic compounds are CH4(methane), Ethane(C2H6), benzene(C6H6) etc .

While

Inorganic compounds are composed of mostly salts of metals,  elements combined to form compounds and compound that are devoid of carbon and hydrogen bond. Example includes NaCl(sodium chloride), CaCl2(calcium chloride), CO2(carbon dioxide), MgCl2(Magnesium chloride) etc.

Most organic compounds are composed of living organism . This include protein, nucleic acid , enzymes etc

While

Most inorganic compound are not formed from living organism .

Most  organic compound involves bonding of Carbon and hydrogen. In fact the presence of C-H bonds depicts it organic nature. example are the Alkane group compounds , Alkene and Alkyne. Only very few organic compound that are devoid of this carbon - hydrogen bonds like CCl4(carbon tetra chloride)

While

Inorganic compound rarely contains carbon and hydrogen bonds.

Answer:

Explanation:

Un compuesto orgánico es todo aquel que tiene como base el carbono. Sus enlaces son covalentes, de carbono con carbono, o entre carbono e hidrógeno. Es sintetizado principalmente por seres vivos, sin embargo, también puede sintetizarse artificialmente. Los compuestos de este tipo constituyen la rama de la química orgánica.

Un compuesto inorgánico es todo aquel que no tiene como principal elemento el carbono y en el que no ocurre un enlace covalente entre el carbono y el hidrógeno. El tipo de enlace más común en este compuesto es el iónico. Los compuestos de este tipo constituyen la rama de la química inorgánica.

Definición

The activity series goes top to bottom, most active to least active elements, going: Li, K, Ba, Sr, Ca, Na, Mg, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cd, Co, Ni, Sn, Pb, H, Cu, Ag, Hg, Au. 

Thus, your list of metals would go from most reactive to least reactive: Li, K, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, Au

Differentiating Star Clusters
Maru [420]

“Star cluster” is a generic way for astronomers to refer to a group of stars that formed from the same material and are gravitationally bound for at least some period of time. There are two major types of star clusters — globular clusters and open clusters — and they are actually quite different.
