Question

Which are common properties of inorganic substances? Check all that apply.

They are solid at room temperature.
They are good conductors of electricity.
They dissolve in water.
They burn readily.
They contain carbon.

Answer 1

first four properties apply to inorganic substances

Step-by-step explanation:

Inorganic compounds are solid at room temperature and poor conductors of heat and electricity. But very good conductors of heat and electricity when dissolved in water or in molten state. Also inorganic compounds are highly soluble in water. They also give a characteristic colour when burnt and this colour is departed by the metallic ion present in that compound.

The last property is the character of organic compounds because of capability of carbon atom to form long chains known as catenation.
