All organic compounds must contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. Organic compounds may also contain other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus.
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and NITROGEN!!! Nitrogen is in all organic molecules because it is needed to complete an amino acid- also found in all organic molecules!!!
The principal element is Carbon (C)
But Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H) asre also important because "just" carbon is not enough to be an organic compound.
Carbon and hydrogen. There are a few definitions of organic compounds but generally they have one or more C-H or C-C bonds. Organic chemistry is the component of chemistry that involves all aspects of organic compounds.
Organic chemistry can be looked at as the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions and preparation of hydrocarbons and their derivatives. These compounds may contain any number of other elements, including hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, the halogens as well as phosphorus, silicon and sulfur. Organic substances will generally contain both carbon and hydrogen at their simplest forms, although even the basic functional groups will include oxygen.
H2O, or water, is considered an inorganic compound. Organic compounds are primarily made of carbon and hydrogen atoms, often with other elements like oxygen or nitrogen. Inorganic compounds, like water, do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
An organic compound contains carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, and may also include other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus. These compounds are commonly found in living organisms and play a fundamental role in various biological processes. Organic compounds exhibit a wide range of properties and can form complex structures due to the versatility of carbon bonding.
No, Aluminum Nitride is not organic. It is an inorganic compound composed of Aluminum and Nitrogen. Organic compounds contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
