4. Which of the following statement is or are incorrect ?

Carbon compounds (or organic compounds) are covalent compounds having low melting points and boiling points.

Most of the carbon compounds are non-conductors of electricity.

Although oxides of carbon (like carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide), carbonates, hydrogen carbonates and carbides are also carbon compounds and they are considered to be organic compounds.

The compounds of carbon are known as organic compounds.

Answer: Although oxides of carbon (like carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide), carbonates, hydrogen carbonates and carbides are also carbon compounds and they are considered to be organic compounds.

Explanation:

Though oxides of carbon (like carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide), carbonates, hydrogen carbonates and carbides are also carbon compounds but they are not considered to be organic compounds. This is because their properties are very different from those of the common organic compounds.
