a) Organic compounds are those compounds which have carbon atoms directly bonded to hydrogen atoms along with other atoms. They mainly have covalent bonding.
The bond which is formed by equal sharing of electrons from both the participating atoms. The pair of electron participating in this type of bond is called bonding pair.
Now,
There are many elements which combine with carbon in organic compounds. The compounds are as follow:
Heteroatoms are atoms other than carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds. Out of the above listed elements all except hydrogen are heteroatoms.
Hence,
Number of heteroatoms are:
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that, heteroatoms are Chlorine, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Bromine, Sulphur.
