Answer to Question #22185 in Organic Chemistry for RIYA

Question

an organic compound without hydrogen as its element

Answer 1

An organic compound is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon.There is no "official" definition of an organic compound. Some textbooks define an organic compound as one containing one or more C-H bonds; others include C-C bonds in the definition. Others state that if a molecule contains carbon―it is organic.The "C-H" definition excludes compounds that are historically and practically considered to be organic. Neither urea nor oxalic acid is organic by this definition, yet they were two key compounds in the vitalism debate.
