Question

Give the names and formulas of two carbon compounds that are organic and two that are inorganic.

Short answer

The answer is,

Organic compounds: Ethane (${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$) and Propane (${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ )

Inorganic compounds: Carbon dioxide ( ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$) and Calcium Carbonate ( ${\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}$)

Step-by-step solution

 Organic and Inorganic compounds

Organic compounds are compounds containing carbon and hydrogen along with atoms like oxygen and nitrogen, usually containing carbon-hydrogen bonds. Whereas the inorganic compounds are compounds that may or may not contain carbon atoms and carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Explanation

The two organic compounds containing carbon atoms are given below.

Ethane (${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ ) and Propane (${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ )

The two inorganic compounds containing carbon atoms are given below.

Carbon dioxide (${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ ) and Calcium Carbonate ( ${\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}$)
