Question

which of the following compounds are organic? organic drag appropriate answer(s) here nitrogen gas carbohydrate water protein drag appropriate answer(s) here inorganic

Explanation:

Organic compounds are generally defined as compounds that contain carbon - hydrogen (C - H) bonds and are associated with living organisms or their products.

• Nitrogen gas ($N_2$) is a diatomic molecule composed only of nitrogen atoms, so it is inorganic.
• Carbohydrates are biomolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with the general formula $C_n(H_2O)_m$, and they have C - H bonds, so they are organic.
• Water ($H_2O$) is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, with no carbon - hydrogen bonds, so it is inorganic.
• Proteins are polymers of amino acids, and amino acids contain carbon - hydrogen bonds, so proteins are organic.

Answer:

Organic: carbohydrate, protein
Inorganic: nitrogen gas, water
