inorganic. It can be converted to an organic compound through photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide is considered an inorganic compound because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, which are the defining feature of organic compounds. It consists of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms.
One example is the process of respiration in animals, where organic compounds containing carbon are broken down to release carbon dioxide, an inorganic compound, as a byproduct. This carbon dioxide is then released into the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle.
Sulfur dioxide is an inorganic compound, as it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. It is produced through the burning of fossil fuels and industrial processes.
Organic compounds contain carbon atoms. Nitric acid (HNO3) contains no such carbon atoms, so it is inorganic.
Water is an inorganic compound; carbon dioxide is theoretically an organic compound but by tradition is studied in inorganic chemistry.

Yes,it is an example.CO2 is not organic.
Carbon dioxide IS an inorganic compound!
An example of carbon moving from an inorganic compound to an organic compound in the carbon cycle is through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (an inorganic compound) from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose (an organic compound) through a series of chemical reactions using sunlight as an energy source.
Simply containing carbon does not qualify a compound as organic. An organic compound must contain both carbon and hydrogen.

1: CO is not an element, it is a compound. 2: There are no organic elements, only organic compounds. 3: It is inorganic as an organic compound must have both carbon and hydrogen (C and H), whereas CO only has carbon and oxygen.
The simplest way to convert organic carbon to inorganic carbon is to burn the organic carbon. This will result in carbon dioxide, which is an inorganic version of carbon. If you want the carbon purified, you would need to apply significant energy to either the organic or the inorganic carbon compound to shatter the covalent bonds.
