Let's identify each substance as either an organic or inorganic compound. Here are detailed explanations for each:
1. Ozone [tex]$(O_3)$[/tex]:
- Ozone is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms. It is generally categorized as an inorganic compound because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
- Classification: Inorganic
2. Methane [tex]$(CH_4)$[/tex]:
- Methane is composed of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. It is an organic compound because it contains carbon and hydrogen.
- Classification: Organic
3. Aluminum Hydroxide [tex]$(Al(OH)_3)$[/tex]:
- Aluminum hydroxide consists of aluminum, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. It does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, so it is classified as inorganic.
- Classification: Inorganic
4. Butane [tex]$(C_4H_{10})$[/tex]:
- Butane consists of four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms. As it contains carbon-hydrogen bonds, it is considered an organic compound.
- Classification: Organic
5. Carbon Monoxide [tex]$(CO)$[/tex]:
- Carbon monoxide is made up of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. Despite having carbon, it lacks the carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond typical of organic compounds, making it inorganic.
- Classification: Inorganic
Here is the summary in a convenient format for the drop-down menus:
- Ozone [tex]$(O_3)$[/tex]: Inorganic
- Methane [tex]$(CH_4)$[/tex]: Organic
- Aluminum Hydroxide [tex]$(Al(OH)_3)$[/tex]: Inorganic
- Butane [tex]$(C_4H_{10})$[/tex]: Organic
- Carbon Monoxide [tex]$(CO)$[/tex]: Inorganic
