Answer: 1. Any chemical compound that contains carbon - organic.

2. a liquid that acts to dissolve or suspend substances - solvent

3. a chemical compound that doesn't contain carbon - inorganic

4. a substance that is dissolved in a liquid - solute.

Explanation: Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon, and mostly contain hydrogen.

Inorganic compounds are compounds that do not contain carbon.

A solute is a substance which is present in smaller proportions and dissolves or suspends in a liquid called solvent, which is present in larger proportions. The solute and the solvent together form a solution.
