Question

Is `H_2S` an organic or inorganic gas?

Answer 1

Inorganic

Explanation:

The gas doesn't contain any carbon, meaning it can't be organic. All organic molecules contain carbon, most contain hydrogen and many contain oxygen.

Answer 2

Inorganic gas.

Explanation:

Organic compounds are those that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, i.e. we can say that all organic compounds are made up of carbon and hydrogen, as well as other elements if the molecule contains them.

In `H_2S`, it is hydrogen sulfide, and no carbon is present, and so it cannot be an organic compound.

That leaves hydrogen sulfide gas as an inorganic compound.
