Question
which statement is true about inorganic compounds?
they are not made of atoms.
they contain carbon.
they are not made from living things.
they are all elements.
All matter is made of atoms, so "They are not made of atoms" is false. Organic compounds contain carbon (except simple carbonates, etc.), so inorganic compounds typically lack carbon, making "They contain carbon" false. Inorganic compounds can be minerals or synthetic, not derived from living things, which is true. Inorganic compounds include both elements and compounds (e.g., NaCl), so "They are all elements" is false.
