Carbon occurs in various elemental forms in nature, each with different physical properties.
No, inorganic molecules are not carbon based.
Carbon Based molecules are ones that have one or more carbon to carbon bonds in them.
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon based molecules, and those types are excellent for life because they allow for the formation of very large and complex molecules, with a very high number of configurations. Food sources have to be comprised of molecules that can be used by living organisms, and carbon based organic molecules can.
carbon-based molecules have 3 fundamental structures- straight chains, branched chains, and rings. In many carbon-based molecules, small molecules are subunits of an entire molecules. each carbon atom has four unpaired electrons in its outer energy level. therefore carbon atoms can form covalent bonds with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.

Carbon based molecules are those that have one or more Carbon to Carbon bonds in them, also known as Organic molecules. There are a lot of them.
Hydrocarbons are molecules consisting of/containing only atoms of carbon and hydrogen. There are many different kinds of hydrocarbons based on different numbers of carbon atoms in the molecules and whether or not any of the carbons are connected by double bonds rather than single bonds.

An organic
Organic chemistry (and of course biochemistry) is the branch involving carbon based molecules.
atoms Edit: Atoms and elements are two different things, an elements basic form is an atom. The most common elements found in carbon based molecules besides carbon are Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. However, there are others depending on the molecule.
