What is a large class of matter made up of elements and compounds?
A large class of matter made up of elements and compounds is known as substances. Substances can be pure elements, like oxygen or gold, or they can be compounds, like water or salt. Each substance has unique properties that distinguish it from other substances.
H2O CO2 and NaCl are all examples of what?
All are compounds; a form of matter composed of two or more elements.
What is the difference between inorganic compounds and organic compounds?
Inorganic compounds typically do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are derived from non-living matter, such as minerals and salts. Organic compounds contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are derived from living matter, such as plants and animals. Organic compounds are often associated with biological processes and are more complex in structure compared to inorganic compounds.
Compounds that make up living matter but do not contain carbon are called?
Inorganic compounds. These include water, salts, and minerals that are essential for life processes but do not contain carbon in their chemical structure.
What state of matter is soil?
Soil is an aggregate mix of compounds both organic and inorganic, and despite its plastic or powdery texture usually is considered to be in the solid state, although it does have some liquid or gaseous components.
