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.

∙ 9y agoCO2 can be considered an organic compound because plants breathe in CO2. Because this is a biological process the compound is considered to be organic.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoCarbon dioxide is organic; it is a molecule based upon the element carbon, and it is also associated with living things, so it qualifies for two reasons.

∙ 14y agoNo. There is a carbon atom in it so that makes it organic
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo, organic substances are characterized by a carbon compound. CO2 has one carbon, so it is organic.
