Table salt is inorganic TNT is organic Glucose is organic 2,4-D is organic Limestone is inorganic Water is inorganic What makes a compound organic is the presence of a carbon, with the exception of cabonates. In this case all of the compounds in this list that have carbon except for CaCO3, are organic and the other compounds are inorganic.
