Which of the following is inorganic? Choose all that apply.
A
Water
B
Carbon dioxide
C
Glucose
D
Carbon Monoxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon compounds such as carbides (e.g., silicon carbide [SiC2]), some carbonates (e.g., calcium carbonate [CaCO3]), some cyanides (e.g., sodium cyanide [NaCN]), graphite, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are classified as inorganic.

Detailed explanation-2: -The major inorganic compounds are water (H2O), bimolecular oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and some acids, bases, and salts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide, CO2, is another example of an inorganic compound because it does not contain both carbon and hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, and chlorine do not contain both carbon and hydrogen atoms so all of them are inorganic.
