Detailed explanation-1: -Organic chlorine compounds constitute a group of more than 2, 000 substances which are based on organic compounds (i.e. carbon-containing) with one or more chlorine atoms. The exceptional reactivity of chlorine enables it to be introduced into virtually all basic substances in organic chemistry.

Detailed explanation-2: -Non-carbon and hydrogen atoms are less common in organic compounds, and we give these atoms a special name: heteroatoms. A heteroatom is an atom that is not carbon or hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbides, carbonates, and cyanides form the only carbon-containing compounds not known as organic.
