From Wikipedia (see link to the left):
"The name "organic" is a historical name, dating back to 19th century, when it was believed that organic compounds could only be synthesized in living organisms through vis vitalis - the "life-force". The theory that organic compounds were fundamentally different from those that were "inorganic", that is, not synthesized through a life-force, was disproved with the synthesis of urea, an "organic" compound by definition of its known occurrence only in the urine of living organisms, from potassium cyanate and ammonium sulfate by Friedrich Wöhler in the Wöhler synthesis. The kinds of carbon compounds that are still traditionally considered inorganic are those that were considered inorganic before Wöhler's time; that is, those which came from "inorganic" (i.e., lifeless) sources such as minerals."
Some carbon inorganic compounds are: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, diamond, graphite, fullerenes, cyanide, cyanate, thiocyanate, carbonate, and cabide.
Even though the definition of organic chemistry is normally given as the chemistry of the carbon atom and its compounds, and obviously carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide would qualify, it is also true that organic chemistry is the chemistry of life, and carbon oxides can result from processes that don't involve life; all kinds of combustion release them, volcanoes release carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is also involved in the creation of carbonate rocks such as marble, a material that is obviously inorganic. So really, you can look at these compounds either way, organic or inorganic, depending upon context.
It doesn't contain (a) H atom(s), it is ionic, 'made' of carbon dioxide and calcium oxide which are not organic.
Some of the inorganic carbon species are:
Even though both carbon dioxide and carbon disulfide (CO2 and CS2) contain carbon, they do not contain hydrogen. Organic chemistry deals with the peculiar properties of hydrocarbons, the simplest of which is methane (CH4). Both carbon dioxide and carbon disulfide have properties that are explained through inorganic chemical theories and do not act or react like hydrocarbons.
Because there is no carbon hydrogen bond which is one or the requirements for a molecule to be organic.
Organic compounds contain carbon but they must contain carbon as a stem atom such as benzene ( C6H6 ). Calcium carbonate has as a stem atom Ca so it is therefore INORGANIC.
Carbonates and carbon dioxide are considered inorganic despite containing carbon.
Yes, metal carbonates are basic.
yes. such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, bicarbonates and inorganic (metal) carbides.
A simple answer is: - organic compounds: contain carbon; but some compounds as carbonates, carbides, cyanides, etc. are considered as inorganic compounds. - inorganic compounds: the other chemical substances
inorganic chemistry
Carbonates and carbon dioxide are considered inorganic despite containing carbon.
No. Carbonates are considered to be inorganic.
Yes, metal carbonates are basic.
No, this is organic. Usually only metal carbides, carbonates and hydrogen carbonates, plus carbonic acid, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are considered inorganic. This is an aromatic amine.
yes. such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, bicarbonates and inorganic (metal) carbides.
inorganic in nature
carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide are both inorganic. So are carbonates, bicarbonates and metal carbides.
No, it is usually considered an inorganic compound. Most carbon compounds are organic but there are a few exceptions: its oxides and the carbonates and hydrogen carbonates are the principle examples.
HCl is inorganic
Yes, inorganic compound contain carbon such as carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates,carbon monoxide and metal carbides
Organic compounds are actually compounds containing carbon covalently bonded with a hydrogen. You can say carbon is the main thing here. Compounds of carbon [except oxides, carbonates, bicarbonates] are termed as organic. Water does not contain a carbon atom. So it is inorganic. Carbon dioxide is considered by chemists as inorganic, along with carbon monoxide, carbonates and bicarbonates. Nature has not distinguished compounds into inorganic and organic compounds that clearly. These compounds of carbon are just assumed to be inorganic. Also there is that one thing about carbon being covalently bonded with hydrogen in organic compounds. Due to that criteria carbon dioxide is considered inorganic. But actually there is no clear reason.
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbonic acid, carbonates, and bicarbonates are inorganic.
