Is salt and water an inorganic compound?

Water is a molecule of oxygen with hydrogen. Salt is a molecule of sodium and chlorine. So it depends on which definition of "organic" you're appealing to: Organic: pertaining to, involving, or grown with fertilizers or pesticides of animal or vegetable origin, as distinguished from manufactured chemicalsNope! How about this one: Organic: of or pertaining to an organ or the organs of an animal, plant, or fungus Well, both water and salt pertain to organs -- without them most organs don't function well (or for long). In fact, many critters (humans included) have what amounts to sea-water in their veins, arteries and capillaries, and couldn't live without it at all. Organic: characteristic of, pertaining to, or derived from living organisms: organic remains found in rocks. Water and salt are characteristic of all kinds of living things, but water and salt existed long before life came about. There are other variations on the definition, but overall, I'd vote "No".
