Inorganic is substances containing no hydrogen with carbon such as sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid or substances lacking organic properties like a rock. So why does your textbook say that? because carbon dioxide has only one carbon atom and two oxygen and carbon monoxide is the same thing but with only one oxygen, there is no hydrogen in those molecules. Carbon disulphide contains one carbon atom and two sulphur atoms but no hydrogen atoms so it is also inorganic.<a href="http://www.medicalsupplyservices.com/medical-equipment-financing.htm"> Chris K</a> Organic materials are substances that can be found in nature and that contains carbon with hydrogen, organic can also be living things such as a carrot or you and me.
