Compounds are classified based on their chemical composition, structure, and properties. They can be categorized as organic or inorganic compounds, based on the presence of carbon atoms. Compounds can also be classified as acids, bases, salts, or oxides based on their chemical properties.

Organic compounds with double bonds are classified as alkenes, while those with triple bonds are classified as alkynes. These bonds make the compounds more reactive and versatile in terms of chemical reactions.
Compounds can be classified as either organic or inorganic based on the presence of carbon atoms. Organic compounds contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, while inorganic compounds do not.
Pure substances can be classified as elements or compounds. Elements are made up of only one type of atom, while compounds are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
Compounds that release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water are classified as Arrhenius bases. This includes substances like sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
Matter is classified as mixtures and substances. Mixtures are made up of two or more different substances that are physically combined, such as saltwater. Substances consist of only one type of atom or molecule, like elements (e.g. gold) and compounds (e.g. water).
