Comment on Apart from water and salt, are there any inorganic foods?
Beardliest@lemmy.world 1 year agoThat’s a false statement. It needs to have carbon-hydrogen non-ionic bonds for it to be organic. Think carbonic acid vs a ketone of some sort.

Not really completely false just missing a piece of information- ie I should have mentioned they be bonded but carbonic acid and ketones are both organic compounds so I’m not sure what you’re trying to say there.

Carbonic acid IS NOT organic.

According to Wikipedia it is- but I agree after looking at its structure that it is not.
There are no carbon-hydrogen covalent bonds in the structure.
