Is ice organic or inorganic

Answer 1

Polarity of a molecule is not related to whether or not a molecule is organic or inorganic. A polar molecule is a molecule that has a slightly negative charge on one portion and a slightly positive charge on another portion; a nonpolar molecule is a molecule that is balanced and neutral throughout.

An example of a polar inorganic molecule is water (H2O) - there is a slight positive charge on each of the hydrogen atoms and a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom. An example of a nonpolar inorganic molecule is carbon dioxide (CO2) - this molecule is neutral throughout. An example of a polar organic molecule is isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) - there is a slight negative charge around the hydroxyl group. An example of a nonpolar organic molecule is octane (one of the components of gasoline) - this molecule is neutral throughout.

Answer 2

Ice is considered to be an inorganic substance because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds of organic compounds. It is formed by the freezing of water molecules, which are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Answer 3

The single biggest criteria for an organic compound is that it is based on carbon compounds. Water contains only hydrogen and oxygen. It is therefore an inorganic material.

Answer 4

inorganic as ice is the solid form of water

Answer 5

Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is inorganic.

Answer 6

Inroganic compound as it is frozen water (H2O)

Answer 7

ice is chemically H2O and is inorganic

Answer 8

No Carbon!

Duh!
