Explanation:

To classify compounds as organic or inorganic: Organic compounds contain carbon - hydrogen (C - H) bonds (except some like CO₂, CO, etc.). Acetic acid ($C_2H_4O_2$), Methane ($CH_4$), and Ethanol ($C_2H_6O$) have C - H bonds, so they are organic. Inorganic compounds don't have C - H bonds. Water ($H_2O$), Ammonia ($NH_3$), and Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) are inorganic.

Answer:

• Organic: Acetic acid ($C_2H_4O_2$), Methane ($CH_4$), Ethanol ($C_2H_6O$)
• Inorganic: Water ($H_2O$), Ammonia ($NH_3$), Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$)
