Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An example of an organic compound is glucose (C6H12O6), which is shown in Figure 3.12. Glucose is a simple sugar that living cells use for energy. All other compounds are called inorganic compounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Finally, the molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6. Because glucose contains carbon and hydrogen bonded together, glucose is considered an organic molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between organic and inorganic compounds is the presence of carbon atoms; organic compounds contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom) to form hydrocarbons, while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms. Therefore, C6H12O6 is an organic molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. Glucose is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates.
