Solution

1) The compounds which contain C are generally organic compounds. They are recognized by the presence of C and H. The living organism mainly are made of organic compounds which on burning gives carbondioxide and water.
example: methane, ethane..

2)All other compounds except for organic compounds are called inorganic compounds eg. O2, CO2, SO2, H2O, etc.

Compounds can also be classified into molecular and complex compounds.

3)
A molecular compound can be defined as a compound where the atoms share electrons through covalent bonds. It is also known as a covalent compound. The covalent bonds are what hold the molecule together.When atoms share electrons, they are able to have a full outer electron shell.
eg:H2O, NH3 ....

4) In chemistry, a coordination complex consists of a central atom or ion, which is usually metallic and is called the coordination centre, and a surrounding bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ligands or complexing agents.
