Is air organic or inorganic compound?
Air is about 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen. The other 1% are random molecules that probably contain carbon. For something to be organic it must contain carbon. It is inorganic if it does not contain carbon.
What are three elements that are most often found in organic compounds?
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are the three main elements of organic compounds.
Which element forms the backbone of all organic molecules?
Carbon. Organic molecules are usually made up of carbon chains or rings, with hydrogen atoms bonded to most bond sites. The molecules are distinguished by the length of the chain, the number of double or triple carbon-carbon bonds, and the other elements or ligands that might be bonded to the carbon chain or ring.
Which of the following is an example of an organic compound C6H12O6 NO2 H2O O2?
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic chemistry is the study of all other compounds , that do not contain carbon. However, there are a number of 'cross-over' points, where inporganic chemical can be involved in organic chemistry. It follows that C6H12O6 is organic NO2 , H2O and O2 are inorganic. However, these three molecules can be involved in organic chemical reactions.
Nitrogen gas consists of what?
Nitrogen is composed of molecules each containing two nitrogen atoms
What are three elements included in all organic compounds?
The three components that are needed to create small organic molecules are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These cells contain organic molecules and are essential to life.

Is nitrogen inorganic?
The nitrogen gas molecule is inorganic. Organic molecules are compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen with specific bonding. Thus, while CO2 is not organic, CH2O is. By looking at your a nitrogen compound and seeing what other elements are present and how those elements are bound you can determine whether or not it is organic.
What type of bond holds the atoms in organic molecules together?
From what I have learned in school, all organic compounds contain the element carbon. Most organic compounds also contain hydrogen. Organic compounds may also contain other elements such as oxygen and nitrogen. Since it's made up of non-metal and non-metal elements, it is bonded by covalent bond.
Which element is the main componemnt in all organic molecules?
By definition, organic compounds must contain hydrogen and carbon. Other common elements include oxygen and nitrogen and sometimes sulphur, phosphorus, halogens. There are many other compounds that contain metals (organometallic chemistry).
Besides some amino acids and some modified carbohydrates what other organic molecules contain nitrogen?
Proteins also have nitrogen as well as DNA, ATP, NAD+, NADP+, FAD, amines. amides, and some enzymes.
What are organic molecules and what do they contain?
it's a molecule of a kind normally found in living system.Organic molecules are usually composed of carbon atoms in rings or long chains, to which are attached other atoms of such elements as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
What elements form a nitrogen base?
A nitrogen base is an y organic chemical which contains nitrogen and has the properties of a base. It will contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen but may contain other elements.
What are the four characteristics of all organic molecules?
Organic molecules all contain carbon, often in chains or rings. They also contain hydrogen. I can't think of any other properties common to all organic molecules. Organic substances tend to be volatile, many are combustible, and many have odours.
What is the process by which gaseous nitrogen is converted into ammonia a compound that organisms can use to make amino acids and other nitrogen-containig organic molecules?
Nitrogen fixation
How many organic elements are in the periodic table?
Elements are not usually defined as organic. Any MOLECULE containing CARBON (besides carbon dioxide) is considered organic. Many organic molecules also contain oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sometimes halogens or sulfur.
