No, because:
- no carbon in it
- no covalent bonds in it
- it is just a simple metal-halide ionic bonded salt
All organic compounds must:
- contain carbon
- the majority of the bonds (especially the carbon bonds) must be covalent
- be complex in structure (e.g. CO2 although it meets 1 & 2 is really too simple to normally be considered organic)
In the original definition 3 read more like "be too complex to make in the lab, only living organisms can make it", which is why they got the name "organic compounds". Although we now know how to make them in the lab, the name stuck.

How are potassium iodide and catalase different?
Potassium iodide is inorganic compound, it is ionic in nature. Catalase is organic compound and is covalent molecule.
How are potassium iodide and catalyse different?
Potassium Iodide is a inorganic compound, where Catalase is a organic compound.
Is KCL inorganic compound?
KCL is NOT an organic compound. It is an INORGANIC compound. Organic compounds are those contaning Carbon. KCL does NOT contain carbon, but Potassium(K) and Chlorine(Cl). It is the potassium equivalent of sodium chloride (NaCl) ; Common table salt.
Is chlorphyll organic or inorganic compound?
Chlorophyll is an organic molecule.
Is CH4 considered an inorganic compound?
it has carbon in it, and any compound with carbon is organic therefore, it is an organic molecule

Potassium iodide is inorganic compound, it is ionic in nature. Catalase is organic compound and is covalent molecule.
What type of organic compound is potassium?
Potassium is not an organic compound. It is an element.
What kind organic compound is potassium?
Potassium is not an organic compound, it is a pure substance, an element.
Is Sucrose organic molecule?
Sucrose is an organic compound.

KCL is NOT an organic compound. It is an INORGANIC compound. Organic compounds are those contaning Carbon. KCL does NOT contain carbon, but Potassium(K) and Chlorine(Cl). It is the potassium equivalent of sodium chloride (NaCl) ; Common table salt.
Is CH4 organic?
It has carbon and hydrogen.So it a organic compound
What is an acyl bromide?
An acyl bromide is an organic compound containing an acyl functional group directly attached to a bromine atom.
Is chlorphyll organic or inorganic compound?
Chlorophyll is an organic molecule.
Which molecule is an organic compound out of 6CO2 6H2O and C6H12O6 6O2?
C6H12O6 is an organic molecule: glucose
What is koh class inorganic or organic?
It is either organic nor a molecule. KOH contains potassium (K), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H), but not carbon (C) and a compound must contain carbon to be considered organic. Like all potassium compounds KOH is ionic, not molecular.
Is CH4 considered an inorganic compound?
it has carbon in it, and any compound with carbon is organic therefore, it is an organic molecule
