None. Carbon is an element. That means that you cannot break it down into any other matter.

On the other hand, many compounds have carbon in them.

Yes, all organic material contains carbon.


Differentiate inorganic from organic compounds?

Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).

What are carbon compounds?

Carbon atoms have the ability to form strong links with four other atoms and hence can form a large variety of compounds. Methane, Ethane, Carbon Tetra-chloride and more are part of a large number of organic and inorganic compounds formed by carbon. Carbon compounds are those containing carbon.


What does organic compound contain?

Organic Compounds contain carbon, and almost always hydrogen.


Which elements form compounds known as organic chemicals?

Compound are the formation of carbon, the organic compound containing C and H. Carbon forms many compounds because it has 4 valence electrons, therefore four bonding sites. It can also form single, double or triple covalent bonds. for more google us as Tatvachintan Pharmaceutical.

What are the chemicals in coal and oil?

Coal primarily contains carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and trace amounts of other elements like nitrogen and oxygen. Oil consists mostly of hydrocarbons, which are compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Both coal and oil can also contain various impurities such as heavy metals, sulfur compounds, and nitrogen compounds.


Carbon dioxide contains carbon yet it is considered to be inorganic Why?

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.


Are carbon dioxide water and glucose compounds If not what are they?

Yes - they are all compounds.
