To determine which compound is inorganic, let's review each option:
A. [tex]\( C_6H_{12}O_6 \)[/tex]:
- This is glucose, a common organic molecule with multiple carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms and hydroxyl groups.
- It is an organic compound.
B. [tex]\( KH_2PO_4 \)[/tex]:
- This is potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds typical of organic compounds.
- It is an inorganic compound.
C. [tex]\( CH_3COOH \)[/tex]:
- This is acetic acid, an organic compound with carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
- It is an organic compound.
D. [tex]\( C_2H_6 \)[/tex]:
- This is ethane, a simple hydrocarbon consisting of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
- It is an organic compound.
E. [tex]\( C_2H_5OH \)[/tex]:
- This is ethanol, an alcohol with carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen and an OH group.
- It is an organic compound.
Given these observations, the correct answer that identifies an inorganic compound is:
B. [tex]\( KH_2PO_4 \)[/tex]
