As sorely few of the above answers pointed out, it is INORGANIC. In chemical terms organic means containing CARBON and Hydrogen, water does NOT contain carbon.

Examples of organic molecules include hydrocarbons, carbohydrates and proteins, but not water.

Answer 23

In-Organic (so to speak) but with a basic intelligence that responds to vibration.


"Masaru Emoto’s water-crystal photos first appeared in his book “Messages From Water” in 1999 and have stirred huge interest ever since. Dr. Emoto, a doctor of alternative medicine in Japan, has done experiments that he believes prove that water is responsive to the vibration (in Japanese, hado) of human thoughts—whether in words or writing—as well as to music and prayer. His work was featured in the New Age hit “What the Bleep Do We Know?” Beliefnet’s Wendy Schuman spoke to Dr. Emoto through a translator about his new book "The Secret Life of Water" and what his theories imply for the well-being of our planet.

Answer 24

organic if its not been touched by humans, and inorganic if it has been messed with.

Answer 25

Pure water is inorganic, the only way you could say it is organic is any life in water. But that's just it, IN the water, not the water itself. True it is necessary for all life, but water alone is inorganic.

Answer 26

organic because hidrogen and oxygen are organic matters...

Answer 27

inorganic it becomes organic when chemicals are added to it.

Answer 28

its organice..except when it is purified..it becomes distilled...

Answer 29

Water (H20) is inorganic —made from two elements hydrogen and oxygen. It contains no carbon atoms as organic compounds do. We can find organic matter and critters in our non-sterilized water, and we can find water in organic critters (including our own organs); but pure water is inorganic.

Answer 30

inorganic
water can be made easily without living metabolism
water contains no carbon atoms
water is not derivative of hydrocarbon

(the latest definition of organic compound is hydrocarbon and its derivatives)

well at what point do u think water is an organic compound?

Answer 31

Water is an organic material until us humans pour fertilizers, garbage, sewage, etc. into it. Once its trashed, it becomes inorganic.
