There are literally millions (and that's being extremely conservative) of organic compounds which contain three elements (even more, if you take the question as meaning "at least three" instead of "exactly three").
If you're just looking for an example of one that contains exactly three: furan.
The hydro fluro acetic acid contains three groups.

Is NH4NO3 a binary compound?
No, NH4NO3 is not a binary compound because it contains nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are more than two different elements. It is a ternary compound because it contains three different elements.
How many elements are in a compound?
The number of elements in a compound depends on the compound in question. For example, water is a compound, H2O and it contains TWO different elements; hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Another compound would be ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH and it contains THREE different elements; nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O).
What organic compound contains three elements?
Carbohdrates , alcohols , phenols , aldehydes , ketones , carboxylic acids , esters and ethers are common classes of organic compounds which contain carbon , hydrogen and oxygen only. Ethanol There are literally millions (and that's being extremely conservative) of organic compounds which contain three elements (even more, if you take the question as meaning "at least three" instead of "exactly three"). If you're just looking for an example of one that contains exactly three: Carbohydrates are organic compounds that contain the three elements Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon in some combination.
