Today, very few organic molecules form on the surface of the earth. Those that do form do so close to volcanic vents. Organic molecules no longer spontaneously form on Earth because the surface of the plant has cooled off dramatically.

Are organic compounds less soluble in water?

Organic compounds have to be defined as best as possible to determine what is soluble in water. Organic compounds are molecules composed with carbons--pure hydrocarbons like octane would not be soluble in water. Organic compounds can also have electronegative molecules in it. Dichloroethane, methanol, ethanol, etc are soluble in water. However, most organic compounds will more likely have low solubility in water, since increasing the number of carbon molecules in any compound drastically reduces water solubility.


Are organic compounds produced only in organisms?

Organic molecules are most abundantly found inside living organisms, but they are dispersed throughout the world's biosphere; in addition, there are interstellar gas clouds which contain organic molecules, and the atmosphere of some of the moons in the outer solar system is known to contain organic molecules, and there are likely to be many other places in the universe where we haven't looked yet, that also contain organic molecules.

What element makes an organic molecule an organic molecule?

The basic answer regarding the difference between organic and inorganic molecules is carbon. Carbon is the key to organic molecules. Yes, there are a few carbon compounds that may be considered inorganic, but it is the carbon that is the key to the differences. Carbon compounds number in the millions.
