chemical defintion of organic
'''Inorganic''' means not capable of sustaining [[life]].
'''Inorganic''' means something is not composed of organic material; organic material must contain carbon, by definition. By extension, organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon. All living material is composed mainly of carbon atoms, hence the association of "organic" with "living", though that association does not necessarily hold in all cases.
