Chemistry is given from ......language ?
Correct answer: B. Greek
- A. Latin
- B. Greek
- C. Arabic
- D. None of these
Explanation
The word chemistry is derived through Arabic al-kīmiyā, but the root term is commonly traced to the Greek word khēmeia or chymeia. In the usual school-level treatment, the expected answer is Greek. Students may choose Arabic because Arabic scholars developed the subject substantially, but that refers to transmission and development rather than the original linguistic root.

About Classification of Organic Compounds
Organic compounds are classified by carbon skeleton into open-chain, branched-chain and cyclic compounds, including homocyclic and heterocyclic types. The classification also uses functional groups to distinguish hydrocarbons, halo compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, which is different from naming compounds by IUPAC rules.
