- Comment on This console generation seems skippable 11 months ago:
The size of this current console gen is strange TBH. Consoles have always been smaller and more compact than a full fledged Desktop PC.
I was taking my brand new PS4 on work trips and playing games all the time. No way that’s happening with the size of the PS5.
Consoles aren’t supposed to be portable I understand that BUT it’s definitely a consideration for a subset of customers that are on the go.
I prolly won’t get a PS5 unless I’m burning cash when GTA6 comes out.

You’re right- primarily because science changes as new things are discovered and therefore the definition changes.
I still think the definition I learned with C-H covalent bonds indicating organic has fewer exceptions than other definitions.
- Comment on Apart from water and salt, are there any inorganic foods? 1 year ago:
None of those compounds would be stable. Theoretically you’re making a good point for an exception to C-H bonds defining organic chemistry but I bet all of your fully halogenated compounds would degrade and break apart until some number of hygrogens replace the halogens to make it stable.
Point taken tho.

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.
- Comment on Apart from water and salt, are there any inorganic foods? 1 year ago:
Your link claims any compound with carbon is organic (there are exceptions listed) which really doesn’t fit either since there so many exceptions.
I was glib with my organic chemistry because it’s not just hydrogen atoms specifically but more the covalent bond between carbon and hydrogen that makes it organic so they have to be bonded covalently to be considered organic.
There’s still exceptions to this definition but they’re far fewer and usually only found in extremely unstable compounds like the fully halogenated fringe cases you mentioned in another comment.

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.

Just adding something to water doesn’t make it a compound. Adding something to water makes it a solution.
- Comment on Apart from water and salt, are there any inorganic foods? 1 year ago:
Modern definition of Organic as it pertains to chemistry is any compound that contains BOTH hydrogen AND carbon.
- Comment on Apart from water and salt, are there any inorganic foods? 1 year ago:
Calcium bicarbonate is inorganic because it doesn’t contain hydrogen. Organic compound must have both carbon and hydrogen atoms.
