Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).

Physical differences between organic and inorganic compound?
Organic compounds contain both the elements carbon and hydrogen bonded together. An inorganic compound is missing one or the other or does not have direct bonds between them as in carbon acid (H2CO3).
Differentiate between organic from inorganic compound?
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not.
What is the differene between an organic and inorganic compound?
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not.
Are ionic organic compounds and inorganic compounds the same?
No. The difference between an organic and an inorganic compound, ionic or otherwise, is that an organic compound contains carbon bonded with hydrogen while an inorganic compound does not.
What are the similarities of organic and inorganic compound?
they all are made of elements
How is an organic compound different from an organic compound?
Do you mean how is an organic compound different from an inorganic compound? If so, an organic compound has carbon, an inorganic compound does not need to have carbon.
Differences between an organic molecule and a inorganic molecule?
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions).
The primary differences between inorganic and organic chemical compounds?
organic compounds have carbon - hydrogen bonds, inorganic may not have this
Is the compond NH4 organic or inorganic?
NH4 is not a compound. It is an organic part of a compound which could be organic or inorganic.
What are the significant difference between organic and inorganic compound?
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions).
Differences between organic inorganic compound?
It's arbitrary (and some chemicals are classed as both);but in general organic is carbon molecules and/or those related to life.Inorganic is everything else.
Is energy an organic or inorganic compound?
Energy is NOT a compound.
