Detailed explanation-1: -Inorganic molecules don’t contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. Most don’t contain carbon at all. Examples include metals, minerals and salts. Sodium chloride, or table salt, is inorganic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glass is made by heating limestone, sand and soda ash to 1, 500 °C. This heat comes from natural gas, and it accounts for between 75% and 85% of the carbon emissions from glass manufacturing. The remaining emissions are a by-product of the chemical reactions between the raw materials.

Detailed explanation-3: -You’re made partly of carbon, so is clothing, furniture, plastics and your household machines. There is carbon in the air we breathe. Diamonds and graphite are also made of carbon.
