Hi,
An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon and hydrogen; therefore, carbides, carbonates, carbon oxides and elementary carbon are not organic. The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry, and since it is a vast collection of chemicals (over half of all known chemical compounds), systems have been devised to classify organic compounds. A few of the compound classes based on the functional groups they carry are as follows: Acid anhydrides Acyl halides Alcohols Aldehydes Alkanes Alkenes Amides Amines Aromatics Azo compounds Carboxylic acids Esters Ethers Haloalkanes Imines Ketones Nitriles Nitro compounds Organometallic compounds Phenols Polymers, including all plastics Thiols Many organic compounds are also of prime importance in biochemistry: Antigens Polysaccharides, carbohydrates and sugars Enzymes Hormones Lipids and fatty acids Neurotransmitters Nucleic acids Proteins, peptides and amino acids Vitamins An inorganic compound is a chemical compound that is not an organic compound. Inorganic compounds come principally from mineral sources of non-biological origin. The modern definition of inorganic compounds often includes all metal-containing compounds, even those found in living systems. Although most carbon compounds are classed as organic, cyanide salts, carbon oxides and carbonates are usually considered to be inorganic. Major branches of inorganic compound groups include: Minerals, such as salt, asbestos, silicates, ... Metals and their alloys, like iron, copper, aluminium, brass, bronze, ... Compounds involving non-metallic elements, like silicon, phosphorus, chlorine, oxygen, for example water Metal complexes
