Materials that add to the comfort, health, or convenience of human beings are composed of organic compounds: clothing of cotton, wool, silk,and synthetic fibres; common fuels, such as wood, coal, petroleum, and natural gas; components of protective coatings, including varnishes, paints, lacquers, and enamels; antibiotics and synthetic drugs; natural and synthetic rubber; dyes; plastics; and pesticides.

1.) Preservatives - citric acid, sodium benzoate are only two of many.
2.) Drugs, including antibiotics - aspirin, acetaminophen, prozac, Birth Control, etc. are ALL organic molecules.
3.) Plastics - the building blocks that compose plastic are organic molecules, and plastics are long, long chains of organic molecules linked together.
4.) Flavorings in food - what we taste are the organic compounds interacting with our taste buds.
5.) Scents - perfumes and food - anything we detect with our nose is an organic compound interacting with receptors in our nose
6.) Fuel - gasoline for cars and oil for their engines are both organic compounds.
7.) Pesticides - most pesticides are organic molecules that have neurotoxic properties to insects (and for that reason, why people are starting to buy organic, since organic crops do not use FDA regulated pesticides). So, most of what we eat was grown at some point, and a pesticide was involved.
8.) Food coloring and color - organic molecules are the cause of color in food colorings (FD&C Red #40, Yellow #5, and Blue #1 are all organic molecules).
9.) Laptop, cell phone, calculator and TV screens - LCD screens are liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystals are specific combinations of organic molecules that change their shape when an electric current is applied (or the temperature changes - mood rings are liquid crystals). When the shape of the molecule changes, it lets light through (or doesn't let it through) and what color depends.
10.) Vitamins - vitamins are organic molecules. Usually we need them because they help our body do the chemical reactions it needs to do and contributes to the building blocks that our cells and parts need to stay healthy.
11.) Cosmetics - look at the label of any makeup or nail product - all those compounds are organic compounds most of the time, mostly (mica and titanium dioxide are examples of things that are not organic).
You can see many of these relate to food - but we are organic creatures and so everything we take into our bodies is usually organic, too!
People use organic compounds everyday without even realizing it. Drugs are made with organic molecules. Preservatives in food are also made out of organic materials. Fuel for cars and engines is a great example of an organic compound.
Those would be quite a few. Let's start off with a day. In the morning you get up and gargle your mouth with a mouthwash which is good many percent alcohol. Alcohol is one organic compound. You light up the kerosene lamp (OK, just imagine yourself at a cottage in the woods). Kerosene is an organic compound just like all the oils.
Then you turn the gas on the stove (the gas is methane from the alkaline family) and fry your eggs in vegetable oil (organic compound!). Well, basically, all foods are organic compounds (except salts and condiments etc.) but I think you want more organic compounds that you read about in chemistry. So, you are done with breakfast and start up your car. Now your car runs on gasoline which is a derivative of petroleum and a mixture of organic compounds including a fraction of octane which makes it better quality fuel.
You have a great day at work and want to celebrate so you bring home a bottle of wine, which is alcohol and that, my friend, is organic! Now something to massage your tired feet. How about some petroleum jelly? A long known friend of people who like moisturized skins, this product is also a derivative of crude oil and an organic compound.
So, you see how we use organic compounds all through our days. I am sure if you look around your home or workplace just once, you are going to find many of such compounds that we use in our daily life. That would actually add quite a lot many compounds to the list so do skim your eyes over your surroundings one or think about all the things you use in a day and the possibility of them containing any organic compounds. How about reading the labels on the products? Hope you find a treasure of organic compounds!
Organic compounds are essential for life without organic compounds the life can not exists, our food is organic our cloths and shoes are organic our medicines, lotions, soaps, detergents are organic, petroleum, natural gas, wood, plastics all are organic.
penicillin, methane gas used in cookers,carbohydrates, plants, animals and so on..
They are so many, the common classes of organic compounds are Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Oils and Vitamins.

Brine is made into salt which is one of the uses. Edit : Brine can also be used to separate impurities from organic compounds, when used in organic extractions.
No. Organic farming is a method of farming for which no synthetic chemicals are used. This includes fertilizers and all types of pesticides. An organic compound is a substance.No. As said below organic faming uses no man made chemicals and organic compounds are carbon based.

Some uses of organic compounds in medicine are aspirin and ibuprofen. Aspirin is called acetylsalicylic acid and is an organic compound with the molecular formula C9H8O4. Similarly, ibuprofen is isobutylphenylpropanoic acid. These are analgesics used to treat various issues like headaches or pain relief. Organic compounds are also found in many drugs like fluticasone, a topical anti-inflammatory.
