From Wikipedia (see link below):

An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon; for historical reasons discussed below, a few types of compounds such as carbonates, carbon oxides and cyanides, as well as elemental carbon are considered inorganic.

Here are a few of each:

Organic Compounds:

  • CH4 - methane
  • C2H6 - ethane
  • C2H4 - ethene
  • C3H8 - propane
  • C3H6 - propene
  • C4H10 - butane
  • C6H6 - benzene
  • C7H8 - toulene
  • C6H6O - phenol

Inorganic Compounds:

  • NaCl - sodium chloride
  • CO2 - carbon dioxide
  • H2O - water
  • NO2 - nitrogen dioxide
  • HCl - hydrochloric acid
  • CuCl2 - copper(II) chloride
