The line between organic and inorganic compounds in chemistry is not always drawn very
precisely; however, in general, organic compounds are molecules that include carbon atoms,
whereas inorganic compounds are compounds that do not contain carbon. This law is subject to
a number of significant deviations, the most notable of which include carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide. The molecules that make up living things are known as organic compounds, whereas
the molecules that make up non-living things are known as inorganic compounds.
When comparing two or more chemical compounds, it is helpful to look at each compound's
properties from a variety of angles. The solubility is one of its properties. The majority of
covalent bonds are found in organic molecules, whereas the majority of ionic bonds are found in
inorganic substances. Because of the ionic interactions, inorganic compounds can dissociate
into positive and negative ions in water, which makes them extremely soluble in water, which
literally means that they can be easily dissolved. The vast majority of organic compounds, on
the other hand, are insoluble in water, despite the fact that they are soluble in other organic
molecules.
After seeing the video in its entirety, I gained a better understanding of the significance of
solubility. The ability of a substance to dissolve in water is a basic piece of information that must
be accounted for when trying to forecast how a substance will move through aqueous
environments. The ability of a chemical to dissolve in water is the most important factor that
determines how that molecule will behave when it comes into contact with any other phase.
