    What is organic compounds in science terms?

    organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. The few carbon-containing compounds not classified as organic include carbides, carbonates, and cyanides.

    Personally I don’t think it’s ever once explained in any science or news shows. Perhaps its because it gets the imagination going. (because… It’s organic!)
