No, by definition an organic compound contains carbon.
The word organic originates from the notion in 19th century that "only" living creatures can produce carbon-containing molecules. Today, we know that this is not true... But, we still use the word "organic" to describe carbon compounds. It is more appropriate to call organic compounds or organic chemistry as carbon compounds and carbon chemistry.
By convention chemical compounds containing carbon are considered organic chemicals; but this definition is not entirely true.
Most of the organic compounds are solids, combustible, non polar and insoluble in water.
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic AcidsMainly carbon (C).The four macromolecules are organic compounds. And all organic are carbon-based. Inorganic are metals and do not have carbon.
Organic. (Compounds that contain carbon bonded to hydrogen are organic)
Yes, carbon-based compounds are considered organic compounds. Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that primarily deals with compounds containing carbon, with a few exceptions, such as carbonates, cyanides, and carbides, which are considered inorganic.
All organic compounds contain carbon.

True. Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of carbon-containing compounds.
Most of the organic compounds are solids, combustible, non polar and insoluble in water.
true
Organic compounds always contain hydrocarbons (carbon & hydrogen); any other elements in the compound (e.g. oxygen or nitrogen) form the functional group, which is the reactive part of the compound & defines the compounds name.The definition of Organic Chemistry is the chemistry of the compounds of Carbon. This indicates that the most prevalent element in organic compounds is Carbon, yet it is closely bonded with Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus, to name but a few.An organic compound is a molecule that contains at least 1 carbon.Atoms. (The answer "carbon" is not necessarily true; carbon tetrachloride is a counterexample.)

True. Scavengers break down the organic matter from dead organisms, releasing carbon compounds back into the soil through their waste products and decomposing bodies. Some carbon is also released as carbon dioxide into the air during the decomposition process.

Organic Chemistry, is a branch of chemistry in which carbon compounds and their reactions are studied. A wide variety of classes of substances-such as drugs, vitamins, plastics, natural and synthetic fibers, as well as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats-consist of organic molecules. Organic chemists determine the structures of organic molecules, study their various reactions, and develop procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds. Organic chemistry has had a profound effect on modern life: It has improved natural materials and it has synthesized natural and artificial materials that have, in turn, improved health, increased comfort, and added to the convenience of nearly every product manufactured today.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Horse Isle - Carbon -DaveyBoy on bay/brown sever
