Why do you classify carbon dioxide as inorganic?

Answer 1

Some inorganic compounds contain carbon because the distinction between organic and inorganic compounds is essentially arbitrary. While all organic compounds contain carbon, there are a variety of other carbon compounds that occur in nature but are not considered organic, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, as well as categories called carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, and thyocyanates.
