Which of the following is an organic compound?

Answer
A
ammonia (NH3)
B
calcium sulfide (CaS)
C
octane (C8H18)
D
sulfur trioxide (SO3)

Explanation

Organic compounds are generally carbon-based compounds that contain carbon bonded to hydrogen. Octane (C₈H₁₈) has both carbon and hydrogen, so it is organic. Ammonia, calcium sulfide, and sulfur trioxide do not contain carbon and are not organic compounds.
