Which of the following properties is not shown by organic compounds
Correct answer: C. They show polymorphism and isomorphism.
- A. They have low boiling points.
- B. They are more soluble in non-polar solvent.
- C. They show polymorphism and isomorphism.
- D. They are inflammable.
Explanation
While polymorphism and isomorphism are less common in organic compounds compared to inorganic compounds, it's challenging to make a generalization that all organic compounds do not exhibit these phenomena. The behavior depends on the specific molecular structure of the organic compound in question. That said, some simple organic compounds may be less likely to exhibit polymorphism or isomorphism due to their relatively straightforward structures. However, the occurrence of polymorphism and isomorphism in organic compounds is highly variable, and it's essential to consider the specific characteristics of individual substances. Therefore this option is correct.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
