Snip: (Sulfur is listed)

All of the objects are considered organic except the rocks and the paddle boat. To a chemist, the term organic describes chemical compounds that contain carbon and other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus. For example, the pain reliever acetaminophen is organic and its chemical formula is C8H9NO2.

At the grocery store, the term organic describes foods raised under specific conditions. For example, beef labeled organic is from cows that were not given antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed animal by-products.

All of the organisms pictured are alive and composed of organic compounds.

Then why is sugar organic? Let’s find out more.
