A molecule is deemed and termed to be organic if it contains Carbon and hydrogen. Methane [CH4] is the simplest example. Carbon forms chains i.e. -C-C-C-C- etc, and has room for two side branches 'to boot!'
Organic chemistry is the basis for Biochemistry.
A good background in inorganic and organic chemistry is required for biomedical engineering. After accomplishing study in inorganic chemistry, one must obtain a solid understanding of how organic carbon and other molecules comprise the essential structures of life molecules. Organic chemistry enables one to study the activities of different micro-bodies.
If I absolutely had to answer with two atoms, I'd say carbon and hydrogen. This is because carbon is the absolutely indispensible atom that is the absolute basis of all organic molecules, forms they're backbones, and it is carbon's ability to make multible chemical bonds that allows for complex molecular structures. Secondly, hydrogen because any time a carbon molecule has a free chemical bond (not bound to another carbon or some other atom), it bonds to hydrogen. Hydrocarbons are entirely carbon and hydrogen. I must say however that for some organic molecules (e.g. carbohydrates) I would have to say there are three atoms which are the basis: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Maple trees and tulips are classified as autotrophs because they are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis. They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose, which serves as their energy source. This ability to generate their own food distinguishes them from heterotrophs, which must obtain nutrients from other sources.
For matter to be considered organic, it must contain carbon atoms, typically bonded to hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, or other elements. This carbon-based structure is essential for forming the complex molecules necessary for life, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Additionally, organic compounds are often associated with living organisms or their byproducts.
No, for a substance to be considered a mineral, it must have a crystalline structure, be naturally occurring, be a solid, have a defined chemical composition, and be inorganic. Organically derived substances, such as coal or amber, do not meet all the criteria to be classified as minerals.
All organic molecules must contain carbon.

Ammonia is not organic. Others are organic molecules
Compounds are classified as organic based on their molecular structure, which must contain carbon atoms. Organic compounds are typically derived from living organisms and can include molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
You!
Yes, all organic molecules contain carbon.
All plants have the potential to be organic. For something to be described as organic is must be grown without the use of pesticides, insecticides, growth hormones or GMO's, basically it must be grown without chemicals. As long as you do not spray the plants in you planter with pesticides/chemicals, do not use chemicals in the soil they are planted in, then they should be considered organic. However the standards for being registered as an organic farmer are much more complex and require certification through the USDA showing that the food being grown complies with the legal regulations.
No, the chloride ion (Cl-) is not an organic molecule. Organic molecules are based on carbon atoms and typically contain hydrogen atoms. The chloride ion is an inorganic ion composed of a single chlorine atom that has gained an extra electron.
No. A proton is a subatomic particle, and a component of atoms. Atoms are components of molecules. An organic molecule must contain carbon atoms.

Most contain hydrogen and many contain oxygen or other elements.See the Related Questions and Web Links.a compound made of carbon oxygen and hydrogenAn organic compound is a member of a large class of solid, gaseous or liquid chemical compounds in which the molecules contain carbon.
