In chemistry, the term organic is applied to many [[carbon]]-containing compounds.  It is a common misconception that "organic" refers to any compound that contains carbon.  Multiple inorganic molecules containing carbon exist, such as [[Carbon_monoxide|carbon monoxide]] and [[Carbon_dioxide|carbon dioxide]]. Chemistry is split into two general categories: [[organic chemistry]] and [[inorganic chemistry]].
