No. Carbohydrates are carbon with water (most of the time). The ratio is 1 carbon to 1 hydrogen and 2 oxygens. The name does tell you: carbo- (carbon) + hydrate (water). So the generic formula is CHO2.I think you have it backwards. The general formula for a carbohydrate is CH2O, not CHO2.
Carbon and Hydrogen
All Arrhenius acids contain hydrogen. From the name, you can tell that Carbon is in it. The suffix "-ic" means that it contains Carbonate, a compound of Carbon and Oxygen.The formula for Carbonic acid is H2CO3, which means that it contains Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen.

An organic compound is one that contains carbon and hydrogen mainly. I have not heard of a carbon specific name. If you are just looking for any compound that contains carbon, Sodium bicarbonate is one

No, since the compound contains no carbon.
look @ the periodic table :)
Organic compounds always contain hydrocarbons (carbon & hydrogen); any other elements in the compound (e.g. oxygen or nitrogen) form the functional group, which is the reactive part of the compound & defines the compounds name.The definition of Organic Chemistry is the chemistry of the compounds of Carbon. This indicates that the most prevalent element in organic compounds is Carbon, yet it is closely bonded with Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus, to name but a few.An organic compound is a molecule that contains at least 1 carbon.Atoms. (The answer "carbon" is not necessarily true; carbon tetrachloride is a counterexample.)
the compound name is atoms.
