Question:

are acids, bases, salts and oxides belong to inorganic compound?

and what are the kinds of organic compounds?..pls. help me abt. this..thanks!..(^_^)

Answer:

Organic compounds are anythng with carbon C in them. Acids or bases can be organic or inorganic depending on if they have a carbon atom in them. Salts result from a reaction of an acid and a base e.g. Sodium chloride NaCL results from a reaction of HCL and NaOH i.e. HCL + NaCL = NaCL + H20. A reaction involving an acid and a base results in a salt and water as shown above. So compounds are organic if they have carbon in them, including the oxides
Any carbon-containing compound is considered organic with the exception of carbonates, bicarbonates, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
I think organic compunds are anything with Carbon(C), although I really don't know.
