they r coloured due to electronic transitions in the constituent atoms....and photons are emitted which fall in the visible range..hence they appear coloured

∙ 12y agoSome organic compounds are colored because of the presence of specific chemical groups called chromophores. These chromophores absorb certain wavelengths of light, which causes the compound to appear colored. The color of the compound depends on the electronic structure of the chromophore and the wavelengths of light that are absorbed.
If water is added to an organic compound, the compound can dissolve in water if it is soluble or form a separate layer if it is insoluble. In some cases, the compound may react with water to form a new compound.
A compound containg carbon (but some exceptions exist).
Glygogen is made of glucose. So it is an organic compound.
A saturated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon which has no double or triple bonds associated with it. In other words, it is a hydrocarbon which contains only single bonds.
No, all organic compounds contain carbon as their essential element. The definition of organic compounds is based on the presence of carbon atoms, although some inorganic compounds may also contain carbon.
Organic compounds are those made out of Carbon.
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions).
Sodium fluoride is an inorganic compound because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds that are characteristic of organic compounds. Organic compounds generally contain carbon bonded to other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and others. Sodium fluoride is composed of sodium and fluoride ions, with no carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Examples of organic compounds that begin with the letter E include ethanol, ethylene, and esters. Ethanol is a type of alcohol commonly found in alcoholic beverages, ethylene is a simple hydrocarbon molecule used in various industrial processes, and esters are organic compounds that give many fruits their characteristic scents.
Potassium sorbate is an inorganic compound. It is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, which is a naturally occurring organic compound found in some fruits.
Not necessarily. Many organic compounds are non-electrolytes, though some, including organic acids and their salts, are electrolytes.
Some examples of organic compounds are lipids butane and propane... The actual definition of it I am unsure of but by my understanding it is a compound with living origin and/or used as a building block for life
Fructose is an organic compound. It is a simple sugar and a type of carbohydrate that is naturally found in fruits, honey, and some vegetables.
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions).
Cement itself in inorganic. However some additives and hardeners mixed with cement are polymers, which are organic.
