Answer: Carbon backbone is present in organic molecules. Inorganic molecules do not have carbon.

The main difference between inorganic and organic compound is the presence of a carbon backbone in the organic molecules. While, inorganic compounds do not have it, this means it lacks a carbon atom (except CO2, which is considered inorganic)

Carbon has the ability to form large and complex molecules and bond to itself many times, and it can be bonded to hydrogen and also other atoms.
