 Lesson
Properties of Organic and
3 Inorganic Compounds
Chemists classify compounds in different ways. During the latter part of the
eighteenth century and the early part of the nineteenth century, chemists began to
categorize compounds into two types: organic and inorganic. Compounds obtained
from living organisms were called organic compounds, and compounds obtained from
mineral constituents of the earth were called inorganic compounds.

Later chemists have learned to synthesize organic compounds. Friedrick

Wohler a German chemist proved that organic compounds can be synthesized from
inorganic compounds, when he obtained urea (a component of urine) by heating two
aqueous solution of inorganic compounds, ammonium chloride and silver cyanate.
Thus, our definition for organic compounds are compounds containing hydrogen and
carbon and all other elements like oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. Inorganic compounds
are compounds that do not contain carbon except for a few that do contain carbon
like oxides of carbon, carbonates and a metal with carbon.

What’s In

Determine whether each compound is an example of organic and inorganic

compound and place it on the correct side of the table. Write the chemical formula
of the following samples. If unfamiliar with the symbols, use a periodic table. What
did you notice about your arrangement of organic and inorganic compounds?

store energy
2. TALS when dissolved in water, dissociates into cations
and anions
3. DIPLIS are molecules such as fats, oils and waxes which
is used for long-term energy storage
4. CIDA a substance that breaks apart or dissociates into
one or more hydrogen ions when it dissolves in
water
5. CECILUN SADIC long chains of nucleotides which are made of
sugar, nitrogen-containing base and a phosphate
group
6. SABE usually dissociates into one or more hydroxide
ions when it dissolves in water
7. PINTORES are made up of amino acids which is needed to
build proteins

Organic and inorganic compounds plays an important role for the body’s
structure and function. Inorganic compounds essential to life are: water, salts, acids
and bases. Our body is consist of as much as 70% of water, which is contained both
within the cells and between the cells that make up tissues and organs. Salts act as
important electrolytes in the body. It helps in fluid balance, nerve transmission and
muscle function. Acids and bases, like salt, dissociates in water into electrolytes
which maintains the balance in our body.

There are four types of organic compounds which makes up the molecules of
life. Carbohydrates in the form of sugars, provides short term energy. Lipids, in the
form of fats and oils on the otherhand, provides long term energy. Proteins build and
repair cells. Nucleic acids, DNA and RNA stores hereditary information.
