Solution

The inorganic compound among the options given is B. Nitrile. Here's why:

  1. A. Mercaptan: Mercaptans are organic compounds that contain sulfur. They are also known as thiols.

  2. B. Nitrile: Nitriles are organic compounds that have a −C≡N functional group. However, the cyanide ion (CN-) which is a part of nitriles is often considered inorganic. So, in a broad sense, nitriles can be considered as inorganic.

  3. C. Meta carbonyl: This term is not standard in chemistry. However, carbonyl groups (C=O) are a feature of many organic compounds.

  4. D. Carbonyl: Carbonyl is a functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom: C=O. It is present in many organic compounds.

So, among the given options, nitrile can be considered as inorganic due to the presence of the cyanide ion.
