What is the difference between organic and non organic molecules?

It hasn’t anything to do with the presence of Hydrogen (H) atoms. Organic: Contains carbon atoms (C). Found predominantly in living biological systems. Inorganic: Doesn’t NORMALLY contain carbon atoms (C). Things like Carbon Dioxide (CO2) contain carbon atoms but are considered inorganic molecules. An alternate discrimination between the two are whether or not the molecule is biological or mineral.
