Compared to the rate of inorganic reactions, the rate of organic reactions generally is:
A. faster because organic particles are ions.
B. slower because organic particles are ions.
C. slower because organic particles contain covalent bonds.
D. faster because organic particles contain covalent bonds.
Most organic compounds have covalent bonds so eliminate choices 1 and 2. Covalent or shared bonds are hard to break so many organic reactions proceed slowly.
