Types of compounds

Depending on the number of elements that substances comprise, compounds can be:

• Binary compounds. Acidic and basic oxides, water or common salt.
• Ternary compounds. Hydroxides, Oxoacids and Oxysalts.
• Quaternary compounds. They are acidic salts and basic salts.

Classification of compounds

• Organic compounds. They originate thanks to living organisms that mix with the element carbon, such as oil, wood or alcohol, for example.
• Inorganic compounds. They are dead substances, that is, contrary to the previous concept. Some contain carbon, but not in the carbon-carbon form.
