inorganic because it doesnt have carbon

Explanation:

Organic compounds are defined as compounds that contain carbon - hydrogen bonds (with some exceptions like carbonates, cyanides etc.). Water (\(H_2O\)) does not contain carbon. Hydrogen gas (\(H_2\)) also does not contain carbon.

Answer:

Both water (\(H_2O\)) and hydrogen gas (\(H_2\)) are inorganic. Water is inorganic because it has no carbon atoms. Hydrogen gas is inorganic as it is composed of only hydrogen atoms and no carbon atoms.
