Compound are the formation of carbon, the organic compound containing C and H. Carbon forms many compounds because it has 4 valence electrons, therefore four bonding sites. It can also form single, double or triple covalent bonds. for more Google us as Tatvachintan Pharmaceutical.

∙ 8y agoThere is no such thing as an "ORGANIC" element.
The elements that make up organic compounds are Carbon (C), Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H)
There are also some others but in small amounts.

What are carbon compounds also known as?
organic compounds
What is the number of compounds that carbon and oxygen can form?
Carbon has four sites for bonding, and it can makes chains with itself, this is the basis for hydrocarbons and almost all organic molecules. So carbon forms ALOT of compounds that are organic.
Do elements contain chemicals?
Elements do not contain chemical, but chemicals contain elements. Elements are singular things with a set of properties all their own. There are currently 118 different known elements. Chemicals, which there are thousands of, are made up of two or more elements. Na is sodium(poisonous) and Cl is chlorine(also poisonous). When these two elements combine, you get NACl, which is table salt(not poisonous) and has properties completely different than the two individual elements.
Why would more than 90 percent of all known compounds be organic?
Because they're from the Earth. It's natural.
Which group in the periodic table contains elements that do no react easily to form chemical compounds?
Group 18 elements, which are also known as noble gases, rarely form chemical compounds.
Why inorganic chemistry is known as inorganic chemistry?
Inorganic chemistry is known as such because it does not include organic compounds. Some examples of organic compounds are carbon based compounds, hydrocarbons, and the derivatives of these two groups. Organic compounds generally include the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, the halogen group, and elements such as silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus.
What are foreign elements in an organic compound?
Organic compounds may contain other elements than carbon, hydrogen and oxygen such as nitrogen ,halogen, sulphur, etc....these elements are known as foreign element.
Are there more non-elements then elements?
Yes, of course: There are no more than 130 elements yet known, but millions of organic compounds alone, not to mention all the inorganic compounds and probably billions of mixtures.

If organic and inorganic compounds were known from the time of the alchemists why is Wohler often called the father of organic chemistry?
Elements in the days of alchemists were radically different, as well as the definition of what is an element and what is organic/inorganic. What Wohler did for chemistry is open the door to realizing that the body is a chemical producing factory, and that these chemicals could be synthetically produced outside of the body. In the days of alchemy we really had a very select amount of base elements that they could achieve with the technology they had. Really the only elements they were able to reduce to were metals(clumped into one cateregory) and sulfur, as well as the other 4 elements which we should all know thanks to Bruce willis. Woehler synthesised urea from inorganic chemicals in 1828 (ammonia and carbon dioxide?). At the time it was believed that organic chemicals could not be synthesized from inorganic chemicals: The theory of Vitalism, that the 'life force' was needed to make organic compounds, held sway until that time . Woehler's work was a demonstration that this theory was wrong. Its overthrow, together with Kekule's work on molecular structure, led to the rapid growth of 'recipes' for the synthesis of organic compounds - compounds found in living organisms. Both Woehler and Kekule desrve to be called the fathers of organic chemistry.
Examples of organic chemicals?
Organic chemistry is a sub discipline involving study of structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials. An example of this is photosynthesis.
