What distinguishes an organic molecule from and inorganic molecule?

Answer 1

Organic molecules have carbon while inorganic do not. An example of an organic molecule is that of proteins and carbohydrates. Inorganic examples are table salt and hydrochloric acid (stomach acid).

Answer 2

Organic molecules contain carbon and are typically found in living organisms, while inorganic molecules do not contain carbon and are often found as minerals or gases. Inorganic molecules are simpler in structure and may not necessarily be involved in biological processes, unlike organic molecules which are essential for life.

Answer 3

An organic molecule has carbon and hydrogen covalently bonded with one another. An inorganic molecule does not.

Answer 4

Organic molecules contain carbon (and usually hydrogen and oxygen).

Any molecule that is not an organic molecule is an inorganic molecule. These do not contain carbon.

Answer 5

Carbon-carbon, carbon-hydrogen, and carbon-oxygen bonds

Answer 6

Organic Chemistry is the study of carbon compounds - simple as that.

Answer 7

Organic compounds provide energy for cells.

Answer 8

Carbon is present in organic
