It is either organic nor a molecule.
KOH contains potassium (K), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H), but not carbon (C) and a compound must contain carbon to be considered organic.
Like all potassium compounds KOH is ionic, not molecular.

KOH (potassium hydroxide) is an inorganic compound. It is a strong base commonly used in various chemical applications such as in the manufacturing of soaps and detergents, as well as in certain industrial processes.
No. It contains the elements potassium (K), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) only.
In order to be organic a compound must contain carbon (C).
No, AgCl is not organic. It is an inorganic compound composed of silver and chlorine.
H2O, or water, is an inorganic compound. Organic compounds typically contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, which water does not have.
Covalent bonds can be found in both organic and inorganic compounds. They are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms, regardless of whether the compound is considered organic or inorganic.
No, PCl3 (phosphorus trichloride) is an inorganic compound. Organic compounds are those that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, which PCl3 does not have.
Matter can be classified as either organic or inorganic. Organic matter contains carbon-hydrogen bonds and is typically derived from living organisms. Inorganic matter, on the other hand, lacks carbon-hydrogen bonds and includes minerals and elements that don't contain carbon.
