Yes. But you already know it contains carbon as it is organic. It is of limited use though - knowledge of functional groups helps more.

Why organic compound fused with sodium metal?
It is for the detection of some specific elements in organic compound, in organic compounds elements are bonded through covalent bonds and are not free to move, when organic compounds are fused with sodium metal the elements form ionic compounds with sodium and become free ions in aqueous solution therefore easily may be detected with the help of suitable reagents.
Why do organic compound contain carbon and hydrogen?
because those two elements are the starts of all organic materials on the Earth
What names the elements that combine to form a compound?
The chemical name of the compound is often based on the names of the elements that are part of it. However, for many simple organic compounds it is not possible to determine the component elements.
What chemical elements are found in all oraganic molecules?
Organic refers to compound of carbon.
What are the similarities of organic and inorganic compound?
they all are made of elements
Why is it necessary to prepare sodium extract for the detection of foreign elements?
We need to prepare sodium extract for the detection of foreign elements because foreign elements are found in organic compound bonded covalently. As a result they cannot be detected through organic compound directly. Hence they are first converted into ionic compound with the help of sodium extract
Why is organic compound fussed with Na for the detection of extra elements?
in the organic compounds, the extra elements are present in the covalent forms and these are the tests for ionic species, so organic compounds are fused with sodium metal to convert these elements into water soluble sodium salts (ionic species).
