Question

Name three inorganic compounds containing carbon. Name any three organic compounds.

Answer 1

• Organic compounds are those compounds in which one or more carbon atoms are covalently bonded with hydrogen, oxygen, etc.
• Inorganic compounds are those compounds that do not consist of carbon-hydrogen atoms in them.
• Organic compounds are the ones that are found in living matter, while inorganic compounds are the ones that are found in non-living matter i.e., minerals.
• Examples of Organic and Inorganic compounds are as follows -

Inorganic Compounds	Organic Compounds
Carbon Monoxide $\mathrm{CO}$	Methane ${\mathrm{CH}}_4$
Carbon Dioxide ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$	Methyl alcohol ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{OH}$
Water ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$	Ethene ${\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_4$
