	<onlyinclude>'''Organic molecules''' are [[molecule]]s ~~which~~ are made of [[carbon]] and other elements.</onlyinclude> ~~At least one of the~~ [[atom]]s ~~in the molecule must be carbon, they usually involve~~ [[hydrogen]] ~~and~~ [[oxygen]], and ~~they~~ can also ~~involve~~ [[nitrogen]], [[sulfur]], ~~and~~ [[phosphorous]]. [[Hydrocarbon]]s, like [[alkane]]s, [[alkene]]s and [[alkyne]]s are all organic molecules and so are [[alcohol]]s, carboxylic [[acid]]s and [[carbohydrate]]s.		<onlyinclude>'''Organic molecules''' are [[molecule]]s that are made of [[carbon]] ''and'' [[hydrogen]], and can include other elements.</onlyinclude> Organic molecules must contain carbon [[atom]]s covalently bonded to [[hydrogen]] atoms (C-H bonds). They usually involve [[oxygen]] and can also contain [[nitrogen]], [[sulfur]], [[phosphorous]], and others. [[Hydrocarbon]]s, like [[alkane]]s, [[alkene]]s and [[alkyne]]s are all organic molecules and so are [[alcohol]]s, carboxylic [[acid]]s and [[carbohydrate]]s. Many organic compounds are formed from chains of covalently-linked carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached to the chain (known as a hydrocarbon backbone).<ref>"Organic Compounds," LibreTexts, 2020.

	Most (85% or so) of the world's [[primary energy]] comes from [[fossil fuel]]s, which are made up of mostly organic molecules. These organic molecules undergo [[combustion]] - they react with oxygen from the [[atmosphere]] and produce [[carbon dioxide]]. This process typically involves an [[exothermic reaction]] which releases heat energy that is converted into usable energy, usually with a [[heat engine]].

In addition to organic molecules found in [[fossil fuel]]s, organic molecules can be found in plant tissues, bacteria, and fungi. Other things like fruits and vegetables, wood, milk, paper and most plastics all contain organic compounds. In contrast, [[carbon dioxide]] (CO<sub>2</sub>) has carbon, but does not have hydrogen, thus, it is not an organic compound. Similarly, [[water]] (H<sub>2</sub>O) has hydrogen but no carbon, and is also not an organic compound. Generally, if a compound does not contain carbon '''and''' hydrogen atoms, it is considered '''inorganic'''.<ref>"Organic Compounds," LibreTexts, 2020. [Online].
