Why do you classify carbon dioxide as inorganic?

Answer 1

Some inorganic compounds contain carbon because the distinction between organic and inorganic compounds is essentially arbitrary. While all organic compounds contain carbon, there are a variety of other carbon compounds that occur in nature but are not considered organic, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, as well as categories called carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, and thyocyanates.

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide is considered inorganic because it does not contain hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon, which is a characteristic of organic compounds. In organic chemistry, the presence of carbon-hydrogen bonds is a key feature that distinguishes organic molecules from inorganic ones.

Answer 3

CO2 is an inorganic cpd (the ONLY inorganic cpd) because it does not have a H atom covalently bonded to a C atom (a property of an organic cpd).

Answer 4

Because of their source, they can be obtained in large quantity from minerals.
