Inorganic means that it was never living or never was livivng and that it is NOT made from carbon atoms.
A chemical that has no carbon.
because it has carbon bonds and originates from a living being.
organic compounds are substances that have carbon in them. inorganic compounds don't.
An inorganic molecule is a substance that does not contain carbon; they are not normally found in living things. Actually, there are plenty of inorganic compounds in living things. But yes, as the name implies, inorganic chemistry is that chemistry that is not organic chemistry - the chemistry of carbon. A compound that contains no carbon. EDIT: Note that cyanide (CN), carbon monoxide and dioxide (CO, CO2), Carbonate (CO3^2-) etc. all contain carbon, but are not considered organic molecules. They are classed as inorganic. When classifying organic compounds, look for the presence of a carbon-hydrogen bond (C-H) in addition to just the presence of carbon.

No. Anything considered "organic" in biology contains carbon, and ALL living things are carbon-based--they contain carbon.

Because it is formed as uric acid in living body and contains carbon.
Inorganic insecticides are those which do not contain carbon as there major element and these are used to kill insects but are harmfull for humans and other beneficial living things.
Nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur are examples of an organic that also can be inorganic. The three above-mentioned macro-nutrients meet the organic requirements of carbon-based living or non-living organism. They also receive the label inorganic as minerals.
It is classified as inorganic as it is not derived from an organic molecule. Organic molecules were originally those from living things but are now those derived from methane or similar carbon compounds.
