    Water is an Inorganic Compound made up of 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. For Water to be considered an Organic compound it would have to contain at least 1 Carbon atom.

  4. Why is water not an organic compound? - Answers

    www.answers.com/earth-science/Why_is_water_not_an_organic_compound

    H2O (water) is an inorganic compound, not an organic compound. Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, which are characteristic of organic compounds. Are carbon dioxide and ...

  5. Is H_2O an organic compound? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/is-h-2o-an-organic-compound

    What are some examples of organic molecules vs inorganic molecules? How does water dissolve organic molecules? Explain why organic molecules are based on carbon.

  6. How does water dissolve organic molecules? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/explain-how-water-molecules-dissolve-organic-molecules

    Water dissolves organic molecules by forming dipole-dipole attractions and hydrogen bonds with them. The simple rule is, "Like dissolves like". In other words, molecules that are polar will dissolve in a polar solvent like water. A molecule like cholesterol consists almost entirely of nonpolar C-C and C-H bonds. Most of its attractive forces are weak London dispersion forces. The water ...

  7. Properties of ionic, covalent, and metallic compounds

    socratic.org/.../properties-of-ionic-covalent-and-metallic-compounds

    Ionic compounds tend to be crystalline structures with high melting points that are water soluble. Covalent bonds are highly stable bonds with low melting points. Many covalent compounds are flexible or gaseous and are not water soluble. Metallic compounds contain freely floating electrons which allow them to conduct electricity and heat well.

  8. Organic Molecules vs Inorganic Molecules - Biology - Socratic

    socratic.org/biology/molecular-biology-basics/organic-molecules-vs-inorganic...

    A molecule is organic if it contains carbon and hydrogen. Scientists have not agreed on a single definition that covers all organic molecules. But the above definition will probably cover the vast majority of the compounds you will encounter.

  9. Dipoles - Organic Chemistry - Socratic

    socratic.org/organic-chemistry-1/lewis-structures-and-bonding/dipoles

    The most common dipole is water. Since #O# is more electronegative than #H# the shared electrons tend to be more in the neighbourhood of the #O#-atom. Since the molecule is 'bent' they tend to be more in the upper part of the figure above. This gives a slight negative charge (called #delta-#) at the top, and a #delta+# at the #H#-arms.
