An organic compound is one where carbon is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom.

In carbonates and bicarbonates the carbon is bonded to oxygen, in carbon disulphide it is bonded to sulfur.

Is an organic compound NaCl H2O C6H12O6 O2?

No, NaCl is not an organic compound because it does not contain carbon atoms. H2O, C6H12O6, and O2 are organic compounds because they contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen and/or oxygen. Organic compounds are compounds primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.


Is Na2CO3 organic?

No, Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate) is an inorganic compound. Organic compounds typically contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are associated with living organisms, whereas inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Is C6H14 an organic or inorganic compound?

C6H14 is an organic compound. It is a type of hydrocarbon known as a hexane, which consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together in a specific structure. Organic compounds are typically derived from living organisms and contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.


Is potassium carbonate organic?

No; organic compounds have at least one carbon (C) atom. MORE... however KCl is permited for use in organic farming as it is not produced in a man made factory. this point is part of the problematic definition of organic. The definition of organic in chemistry is NOT the same as it is in common culture -- where it generally refers to farming practices which do not use man-made pesticides or fertilizers. However, the definition in chemistry has nothing to do with that and is related to whether or not the compound is carbon based.See the Related Questions for more information about the chemical definition or the word organic.

A covalently bonded compound that contains carbon excluding carbonates and oxides?

Organic compounds are covalently bonded compounds that contain carbon, excluding carbonates and oxides. These compounds form the basis of life and include molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Organic chemistry focuses on the study of these carbon-containing compounds and their reactions.
