carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Carbon.
Whether a compound is "organic" or not depends only on one element: carbon. Both methane (CH4) and cyanogen (NCCN) are organic compounds, and as you can see they only have one element in common.
Metals. The metals stretch from group 1 (far left) all the way over to the stair-step pattern (runs diagonally from approximately boron to astatine.)
- carbonate salts (eg. sodium -) and - hydrogen carbonate salts (like baking powder) Further of coarse carbon ( = elementary form: diamond, graphite or carbon black), carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and carbonic acid
Mercury, atomic number 80.
Every single organic thing contains carbon.
Compounds containing carbon are referred to as organic compounds
It is carbon!
Compounds that contain no carbon are inorganic.
these are carbon compounds not found in living things
Carbon is the element contained in all organic matter.
Bit of a silly question.There is no one specific element that allcompounds contain.Carbon dioxide is a compound containing only carbon and oxygen, and none of the other dozens of known elements. Common salt contains only sodium and chlorine, neither of which is contained in carbon dioxide.Any two examples of compounds with no elements in common iare enough to show that there is no element that must be contained by all compounds.Yawn.Dennis R.
