1.	Give reasons for the following – 1. almost 90% of all known compounds are organic in nature. 2. it is dangerous to burn methane in an insufficient supply of air.
Answer» 1. Because of ability of carbon to catenate i.e forms straight chain, branched chains or ring like compounds. 2. Because carbon monoxide is produced in an insufficient supply of air. This gas is extremely poisonous for human beings as it cuts off the oxygen supply by forming carboxy haemoglobin in the blood.
