Water is not an organic compound. Ice is the solid phase of water. Water is an inorganic compound.
Organic compounds were so named because they occurred in organisms (animals, plants and so on). For many years scientists thought they formed a distinct branch of chemistry, and that there was no connection between them and inorganic chemicals.
Water does not need living organisms to form it. In any case, all organic compounds contain the element carbon, which water does not.
Some examples of organic compounds are glucose and other sugars, starch, proteins, and fats.

∙ 12y agoWater is an Inorganic Compound made up of 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. For Water to be considered an Organic compound it would have to contain at least 1 Carbon atom.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoNo, an organic compound must contain carbon in its makeup and water (H2O) contains no carbon.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo; organic compounds must contain carbon. Water has no carbon and so is inorganic.

No.
An organic compund by definition is based on the element Carbon. Water is the compound of hydrogen and oxygen.

What is A family of organic compounds that are soluble in organic solvents but not water called?
lipid
Do organic compounds dissolve in water?
As a rule, polar compounds dissolve in water. Most of the organic compounds are non polar, so they do not dissolve in water. polar organic compounds like ethyl alcohol, suger. Acetic acid etc dissolve in water, because they are polar in nature.
Is H O an organic molecule?
H2O (water) is an inorganic compound; it was not created by living organisms nor first found in them. Water is a simple molecule; organic molecules are much more complex (such as lipids or carbohydrates, for example) and are created by living organisms. Also, organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen.
What is an organic compound salt water calcium vitamin c?
Vitamin C is organic compound.
Do organic compounds produce ions in water?
No they do not. They have low water solubility.
Is their such thing as organic water?
no there is no such thing as organic water
Is water consider as organic?
In chemical terms, water is not organic.
What organic compound is water?
Water is not an organic compound, as it lacks carbon atoms.
Is there an organic water soluble pepper?
No water soluble pepper is already organic.
Will water work as an organic compound?
No, it is not an organic compound.
Is water organic or in organic?
inorganic, due to the absence of carbon
Are lipids organic or inorganics?
Lipids are organic molecules that are naturally occurring and they are insoluble in water.
Does modelling clay absorb water?
Yes it will. Usually it is a mixture of organic ingredients and anything organic will absorb water.
What inorganic or organic substance is in water?
Water is an inorganic substance with the molecular formula H2O. Elements are not inorganic or organic. It is the compounds made from elements that are either inorganic or organic.
What makes water organic?
organic by standard definition must contain the element carbon. water h2o does not contain carbon therefore it cannot nor will it ever be organic.
Is rain organic?
