Why c4H9O4 does not represent an organic compound

Some examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) carbon monoxide (CO), sodium bicarbonate, iron cyanide complexes, and carbon tetrachloride. As you might expect, elemental carbon isn't organic either.
Amorphous carbon, buckminsterfullerene, graphite, and diamond are all inorganic.
The answer is because organic molecules don't just contain carbon. They contain hydrocarbons or carbon bonded to hydrogen. The C-H bond has a lower bond energy than the carbon-oxygen bond in carbon dioxide, making carbon dioxide (CO2) more stable/less reactive than the typical organic compound.
So, when you're determining whether a carbon compound is organic or not, look to see whether it contains hydrogen in addition to carbon and whether the carbon is bonded to the hydrogen. Make sense?
