Organic Chemistry is that branch of chemistry which deals with the study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms.

The range of chemicals studied in organic chemistry include hydrocarbons (compounds containing only C and H), as well as myriad compositions based always on carbon with other elementsespecially O, N , P .

Inorganic Chemistry is the study of the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. we deal with the properties, production, composition of elements present and metallurgy also comes into picture. We study the classification as s-block, p-block, d & f block etc.
