Un composé chimique est dit «organique »lorsque sa molécule possède au moins un atome de carbone(C) lié, au moins, à un atome d’hydrogène(H). Il existe donc une très grande diversité de composés organiques qui peuvent se rencontrer à l'état solide, liquide ou gazeux. De façon générale, les molécules organiques jouent un rôle important dans les réactions chimiques se produisant dans les organismes vivants et sont au cœur de l'industrie humaine via notamment les produits dérivés du pétrole. 2, record 2, French, - compos%C3%A9%20organique
