Well, what does an organic compound always contain?

I'll divide them into compounds that are organic and inorganic: #ul(mathbf("Organic")color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaa)mathbf("Inorganic")# #C_2H_2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)NH_3# #C_6H_4CHcolor(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)H_2O# #C_6H_6color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)NH_4OH# #CH_3CHOcolor(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaa)B_6O# Are there any similarities or differences between organic and inorganic compounds?

Organic compounds are those compounds that has majorly Carbon to Carbon bonds, while Inorganic compounds does not..

The main component of organic compounds is the presence of carbon to carbon bonds, though they can also contain hydrogen, oxygen, and anime. #C-C - > "Bonds"# As an example #C_2H_2, C_6H_4CH, C_6H_6, CH_3CHO# Simply put, inorganic compounds are those that are not organic; they can still contain carbon, but they lack carbon-to-carbon bonds. As an example #NH_3, H_2O, NH_4OH, B_6O, color(blue)(CO_2, CO)#

undefined B6O is an inorganic compound; NH3, H2O, and NH4OH are inorganic compounds; and C2H2, C6H4CH, C6H6, and CH3CHO are organic compounds.
