![]() One key contrast is between natural and synthetic compounds. Organic compounds may be categorised in a variety of ways. Although organic compounds make up just a small fraction of Earth’s crust, they are of great significance since all known life is reliant on organic compounds. ![]() Other than those just named, no consensus exists among chemists on precisely which carbon-containing compounds are excluded, making any formal definition of an organic compound tricky. For historical reasons, a few classes of carbon-containing compounds (e.g., carbonate salts and cyanide salts), along with a few other exclusions (e.g., carbon dioxide), are not categorized as organic substances and are considered inorganic. The study of the characteristics, reactions, and syntheses of organic compounds form the field known as organic chemistry. Due to carbon’s capacity to catenate (form chains with other carbon atoms), millions of organic compounds are known. In chemistry, organic compounds are essentially any chemical compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
