Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organic molecules are compounds that contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. Methane (CH4) is an example of an organic molecule as it contains carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and hydrochloric acid (HCl) do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonding and thus are not organic molecules.
