Re: Why is carbon dioxide classified as an inorganic compound? Â« Reply #1 on: 23/02/2004 17:39:24 Â» Carbon dioxide is is in kind of a grey area and really seems like it COULD be considered organic, but isn't. On one hand, it contains carbon and is a common product in some organic reactions. (combustion, respiration) On the other hand, organic molecules are expected to be classified into certain categories based on functional groups and any molecule in one those categories is expected to react in a similar way to others like it.
