Puppies.(no, really. All living things contain carbon.)Diamonds are something. And graphite. Yeah. I told you. What?
all living things contain carbon and hydrogen
The definition of organic compounds says that it must contain carbon molecules. There is no organic compound without carbon. So, carbon is called the backbone of organic compounds.Carbon has four electrons available for bonding, and in order to become stable, it must form four covalent bonds. Therefore, it has the ability to form chains. Carbon can have multiple hybridizations and bonding options.
Whether a compound is "organic" or not depends only on one element: carbon. Both methane (CH4) and cyanogen (NCCN) are organic compounds, and as you can see they only have one element in common.
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are the three main elements of organic compounds.
It is called organic compounds (made from living organisms, or used to be). It was only in the nineteenth century when organic compounds could be made in the laboratory from inorganic substances (gas, rocks, minerals, etc.)
Carbon-containing compounds are generally referred to as organic compounds (from the previously-held, erroneous belief that they could only be formed by living things). However, not all compounds that contain carbon are considered organic. For example, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are considered inorganic, despite the fact that they contain carbon.
Living things are based on compounds of carbon.
Organic compounds made by living things are called carbon compounds. This is because carbon is required by all living things to function.
Organic compounds contain the element CARBON (C).
All living sources contain the element Carbon
Carbon
Organic compounds.

Yes, because it's made from tomatoes \usually and tomatoes contain carbon compounds. The reason for this is because most living things contain carbon compounds. I'm not sure if this is positively correct, but it's logic.
They are called organic compounds. Every living thing contains carbon, so a carbon compound that comes from a lving thing is considered an organic compound.
Carbon containing compounds found in living things are called organic compounds. Examples of organic compounds are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleotides.
