Answer: carbon-containing compounds with covalent bonds

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "organic compound" refers to the group of carbon-containing compounds such as glucose (C6H12O6), Propane (C3H8), ethyne (C2H2) etc, where the carbon atoms in them are covalently bounded to other atoms such as hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen etc

Examples of organic compounds are ethanol (C2H5OH), ethylamine (C2H5NH2) etc.

Thus, organic compound are carbon-containing compounds with covalent bonds to other atoms.
