Is metal an organic compound?
yes
Is the element Na organic or inorganic?
The term "Organic" refers to something that is or was living. The elements have never been living, nor will they ever be in the future. Elements might be part of a compound that is located in living things. Added: Na, sodium, is an element and inorganic. Organic compounds are based on carbon hydrogen bonding and have nothing to do with living, per se. CH4, methane, is an organic molecule. One element standing alone can not be an organic molecule and just because something contains carbon (CO2--not organic ) does not make it an organic molecule. C-H is required.
What are nutrients that are not made by living things for science?

Is NaCI a organic molecule?

Is CO2 an inorganic substance?
On it's on, i.e. in the form of diamond, coal or graphite, yes. There are a few other forms in which it is considered inorganic, such as it's oxides CO2 and CO, but the distinction between organic and inorganic carbon is somewhat arbitrary. Organic carbon is generally every other carbon containing compound, but more specifically is any carbon containing compound also containing primarily hydrogen, and then oxygen. Organics can of course contain many other elements, but it is the carbon hydrogen backbone that classifies it as organic.
Are living things inorganic or organic?
they are both organic and inorganic
What is defference between organic and inorganic?

Why is the salt an inorganic compound?
Organic compounds are materials derived from living things. Trees, bushes and the like die and decay and become soil. Soil is organic. Inorganic simply means non-organic, or not derived from living things. Salt is a substance made of two elements, (sodium and chlorine ),that occurs naturally, but was obviously never living. So salt is a natural substance but not an organic one.
Is eucalyptus abiotic?
Eucalyptus trees are living things. This means that they are organic and biotic factors. Nonliving things are inorganic and abiotic factors.
Is a wooden chair an organic or inorganic object?
Organic compounds contain carbon, since a tree is made of carbon (as are all living things) then it is safe to say a wooden chair is organic.
