Inorganic compounds lack carbon. Generally metals and non-metals have ionic bonds. For example elementary salts such as table salt (NaCl) or sodium chloride are classic examples of such inorganic ionic bonds. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are most often covalently bonded.

Inorganic compounds are formed by the actual transfer of electrons thus resulting in the formation of ionic bonds between them.
Organic compounds on the other hand are formed by the sharing of electrons thus resulting in the formation of covalent bonds and NOT ionic bonds between them.

Are organic compounds formed with ionic bonds?
Organic compounds tend NOT to be ionic - there are exceptions. Organic Chemistry is defined as the Chemistry of Compounds of Carbon. Ionic forces tend to intercede when we add Oxygen.
Ionic bonds occur in inorganic compounds?
Ionic bonds do hold many inorganic compounds together (there are many covalently bonded inorganic compunds too) and organic compounds all contain carbon which always participates in a covalent bond.
What bond forms inorganic molecules?
could be either ionic bonds or covalent bonds depending on the difference in the electronegativities between the two atoms forming bond.
Does polonium form ionic or covalent bonds?
Generally covalent compounds.
What compounds forms an ionic bond?
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
Are ionic bonds generally found in organic compounds?
No. Organic compounds are almost exclusively covalent.
What is non organic compounds?
An inorganic compound is one that is not derived from a natural or living source. Unlike organic solvents which contain C-H bonds, inorganic compounds generally form ionic bonds between a cation and an anion forming salts. Examples: inorganic: NaOH, SiO2, MgSO4 organic: C6H6, C6H14
Inorganic compounds are usually held together by what kind of bond?
It is the same type of chemical bond that is found in organic compounds: the covalent bond. Also known as 'the sharing of a pair of electrons', it forms usually single, & sometimes double bonds, and rarely triple bonds {- as in the case of a "pair of combining trivalent Nitogen atoms" - i.e. N triple-bond-N - this represents 'the sharing of three pairs of electrons' by two Atoms!}
Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
How are molecular compounds different from an ionic compound?
In molecular compounds, atoms are joined by covalent bonds, while in ionic compounds, they are joined by ionic bonds.
why does paraffin wax melt faster than sodium chloride?
An organic compound has a lower melting point that an inorganic ionic salt; the bonds in ionic compounds are stronger.
What is the difference between organic compound and non organic compounds?
Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, and reactions of compounds containing carbon. Some of the differences between organic and inorganic compounds include: Organic: nonpolar covalent bonds, low melting and boiling points, strong odors, high flammability Inorganic: Ionic or polar bonds, water soluble, high melting and boiling points, generally odorless, and generally flame-resistant.
