Detailed explanation-1: -Water is definitely an inorganic compound (dihydrogen oxide) and methyl alcohol is definitely an organic compound.
Detailed explanation-2: -These chemicals are generally described as mineral in nature and usually exist as ions (chemical substances with a positive or negative charge) when dissolved in water. Typical examples include sodium, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, nitrate, chloride, sulfate, and zinc.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, water is an example of an inorganic compound because it does not contain carbon and it was not formed by a living organism. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is another example of an inorganic compound because it does not contain both carbon and hydrogen.
Detailed explanation-4: -The major inorganic compounds are water (H2O), bimolecular oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and some acids, bases, and salts.
Detailed explanation-5: -H2O means each molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen (H) joined to one atom of oxygen (O). In order for something to be organic-as in alive-it needs carbon. So water, by definition is inorganic.
