Every kind of organic compound has specific properties or characteristics.
Although these compounds may show similarities in some properties, these
compounds do not have exactly the same properties.

Gasoline, kerosene , diesel oil , lubricating oil , vanillin, acetic acid,

and ethyl alcohol are organic compounds with different properties.
For example:
Has a strong odor, is volatile ,
and highly flammable.
In this activity, you will find out about the properties –
odor, viscosity ,volatility, and flammability of
some other common organic compounds

Odor is the smell of the compound. Every compound has its own
specific odor. Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s resistance to
flow. Volatility is the measure of the tendency of compound to
evaporate or turn into gaseous state. Flammability is the measure
of how easily the material burns.
