Which type of organic compounds are present in natural gas?
Correct answer: D. Both B and C
- A. High molecular mass
- B. Low molecular mass
- C. Low boiling point
- D. Both B and C
Explanation
Natural gas is primarily composed of methane (CH₂), along with smaller amounts of other light alkanes like ethane and propane. These are all low molecular mass hydrocarbons, which consequently have very low boiling points.

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.
