Organic compound Methane is one of the simplest organic compounds An organic compound is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For historical reasons discussed below, a few types of carbon-containing compounds such as carbides, carbonates, simple oxides of carbon (such as CO and CO2), and cyanides are considered inorganic.[1] The distinction between organic and inorganic carbon compounds, while useful in organizing the vast subject of chemistry... is somewhat arbitrary.[2] Organic chemistry is the science concerned with all aspects of organic compounds. Organic synthesis is the methodology of their preparation.
