bicarbonates are generally inorganic because there is no carbon-hydrogen bond in them (which is one of the criteria for a molecule to be organic)

What is the atom that makes the difference whether a compound is organic or inorganic?
Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).
Is inorganic compound and inorganic substance the same?
No, they are not. Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).
Are living things inorganic or organic?
they are both organic and inorganic
What are the difference between organic and in organic compounds?
Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).
Is leaf inorganic or organic?
organic
What carbon is organic?
If carbon is present, it is generally organic (with exceptions such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, bicarbonates and carbides which are consided to be inorganic)
What is Organic carbon?
If carbon is present, it is generally organic (with exceptions such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, bicarbonates and carbides which are consided to be inorganic)
Compounds contain Carbon but are not Organic?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbonic acid, carbonates, and bicarbonates are inorganic.
Is carbon a organic compound in your body?
yes carbon is a part of organic compound. but there are inorganic compounds also containing carbon (such as carbonates, bicarbonates etc).
Why carbonates and bi carbonates are not organic compound?
An organic compound is one where carbon is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom. In carbonates and bicarbonates the carbon is bonded to oxygen, in carbon disulphide it is bonded to sulfur.
Differentiate inorganic from organic compounds?
Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).

What is the difference between an organic commoound and an inorganic compound?
Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).
Carbon dioxide contains carbon yet it is considered to be inorganic Why?
Organic compounds are actually compounds containing carbon covalently bonded with a hydrogen. You can say carbon is the main thing here. Compounds of carbon [except oxides, carbonates, bicarbonates] are termed as organic. Water does not contain a carbon atom. So it is inorganic. Carbon dioxide is considered by chemists as inorganic, along with carbon monoxide, carbonates and bicarbonates. Nature has not distinguished compounds into inorganic and organic compounds that clearly. These compounds of carbon are just assumed to be inorganic. Also there is that one thing about carbon being covalently bonded with hydrogen in organic compounds. Due to that criteria carbon dioxide is considered inorganic. But actually there is no clear reason.
Could you explain the differences between organic and inorganic compounds?
Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).
