which of the following is an organic molecule? a. so2 b. c3h8 c. h2o d. lif
Organic molecules have carbon atoms. Lithium Fluoride (LiF), water (H2O), and sulfer dioxide (SO2) have no carbon atoms
C3H8 (propane), because it has 3 carbon atoms.
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A molecule that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms will be known as an organic compound.
For example, \(C_{3}H_{8}\) is an alkane molecule and it is an organic compound.
On the other hand, molecules that do not contain a carbon and hydrogen bond are known as inorganic compounds.
For example, \(H_{2}O\), \(SO_{2}\), and LiF are all inorganic compounds.
Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options \(C_{3}H_{8}\) is an organic molecule.
