Some organic molecules contain rings of atoms. The atoms of the ring may be all carbons, or contain an element such as S, N, O, P, etc. We call the compounds heterocyclics if these elements are part of a ring. For example, THF is a molecule that is heterocyclic, has 4 carbons and an O to make a 5 membered ring. Dioxin has 2 Oxygens and 4 carbons. These heterocyclic compounds display some wonderful reactions. Heterocyclic chemistry still follows the rules of organic chemistry, but other atoms are involved. Dr Jim Romano CEO Orgoman.com

Inorganic chemistry includes the study of all the elements present in the universe, they are tabulated in the modern periodic table. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds which are the basis of living things.

Differentiate between the chemical definition and popular definition of the term organic?

Organic in chemistry refers to carbon compounds. It was originally thought that only living systems produced such compounds. The term as related to crop production means roughly the rejection of certain technology.
