What a organic or inorganic compounds. Difference between acid and base. What is a thermoplastic. What is buffer solution

Question

Accepted Answer

Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, while inorganic compounds do not. Acids donate protons, bases accept them. Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped. Buffer solutions resist changes in pH.

Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, such as methane and glucose.
Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon and hydrogen, like salt and water.
Acids donate protons, lowering pH (e.g. hydrochloric acid). Bases accept protons, raising pH (e.g. sodium hydroxide).
Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped multiple times, like polyethylene and PVC.
Buffer solutions resist changes in pH by neutralizing added acids or bases, maintaining a stable pH level.
