You have to at least try.  What have you come up with?  What do you think of when you think of an inorganic comound?  Organic?  What definitions does your book give?  This is way too easy for you to find information on for us to help you when it's clear you've done no searching.  Give us some more information and you're likely to get more help.

BTW, carbon tet is an organic compound and it doesn't burn^*.  Used to be used as a fire extinguisher.

* - Under relatively normal conditions.
