If the compound is having both carbon and H atoms together then consider it as organic otherwise consider it inorgainc.
For example CO2 is having only Carbon atoms with no Hydrogen hence it is inorganic.
Similarly
Urea has two -NH2 groups but H is attached to N atoms not with that Carbon atom.
Therefore it would also be treated as inorganic.
