What IS an organic compound? (Score 1)

You both are somewhat right about organic materials. What defines an organic compound is the compound contains one or more Carbon atoms with hydrogen and/or Oxygen atoms. For example, the sugars are organic compounds (glucose, sucrose, maltose, fructose, ect.) which contain a 1:2:1 ratio of C(carbon):H(hydrogen):O(oxygen). This is an exception, Deoxyribose(Sugar in DNA); it has C5 H10 O4 (Missing an oxygen, hence the Deoxy). There are a few other examples of organic compound, such as fossel fuels( ya know, the petroleum based fuels?), which contain varying amounts of C and H (and others). Examples: Methane (CH4), or Car fuel (Octane: C8H16). These are all organic compounds. The test will be next week, please study hard! :-)
