What is the name of compounds that contains carbon?

They are termed organic compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons and they are a subset of organic compounds.


Do inorganic compounds contain Carbon- Hydrogen bonds?

No, inorganic compounds do not typically contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. These types of bonds are characteristic of organic compounds, which are based on carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms. Inorganic compounds often involve elements other than carbon and hydrogen.


Which element is considered the foundation for making organic compounds?

Carbon is fundamental to all organic compounds. Organic compounds contain one or more C-H or C-C bonds. All organic compounds contain carbon, but not all carbon-containing compounds are organic, such as carbon dioxide.Carbon is the foundation for making organic compounds. Every organic contains carbon. Hydrogen is also present in every organic compound.


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.


What Compounds contain carbon element?

Compounds that contain carbon are known as organic compounds. They can include a wide range of substances, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Carbon's unique ability to form strong covalent bonds with other elements allows for the vast structural diversity found in organic compounds.

Are organic compounds the first carbon compounds that scientists studied?

Yes, organic compounds were among the first carbon compounds studied by scientists. Early chemists discovered that these compounds were mostly derived from living organisms, which led to the name "organic." Organic chemistry focuses on the properties and reactions of carbon-based compounds.
