Yes it is considered to be organic only if the compound contains carbon. Oxygen and Hydrogen have no bearing on that, for example CO2 is organic, whereas H2O is not.
For the best answers, Organic chemistry, branch of chemistry dealing with the compounds of carbon. While it is only the fourteenth most common element on earth, carbon forms by far the greatest number of different compounds. Organic chemistry is of vital importance to the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and textile industries, where a prime concern is the synthesis of new organic molecules and polymers. Compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon, of which there are many thousands, are called hydrocarbons; the simplest is methane (CH4). In general, a particular type of organic compound, such as an alcohol, aldehyde, ether, or ketone, is identified by the presence of a characteristic functional group of atoms. The functional group is the part of the molecule most responsible for its particular chemical nature. Organic compounds containing nitrogen are of great importance in biochemistry. They generally contain the amine group (NH2). Molecules containing both the NH2 and COOH groups are called amino acids and are the building blocks of proteins AND Sodium azide is the inorganic compound with the formula NaN3. This colourless azide salt is the gas-forming component in many car airbag systems. It is used for the preparation of other azide compounds. It is an ionic substance and is highly soluble in water. It is extremely toxic. Hydrazine is an organic compound without carbon. Carbon di oxide is a inorganic compound with carbon
something is considered an organic compound if it contains Carbon, Oxygen or Hydrogen which every living being contains. If it lacks all 3 then its inorganic, if it has one or more then its considered organic
This is because NaCl does not contain Carbon. It is usually compounds that contain Carbon which can be considered ORGANIC compounds. :)
