All inorganic compounds have atoms in them. Very few inorganic compounds have carbon atoms in them. (Depending on who you ask, "Very few" might be "No".) It looks like this was a fill-in-the-blank but the blank got eaten.

What is the difference between an organic compound and an inorganic compound?
In general, if a compound contains carbon it is organic. The reason for this is that carbon is considered to be the building block of life, and inorganic compounds are said to be more mineral than biological. There are, however, a few cases of carbon-containing compounds which are considered inorganic because of convention, some being carbonates, simple oxides of carbon, cyanides and the allotropes of carbon.
What are the organic compound and inorganic compound?
In general organic contains carbon molecules and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
What are the types of inorganic compound?
From Wikipedia (see link below):An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon; for historical reasons discussed below, a few types of compounds such as carbonates, carbon oxides and cyanides, as well as elemental carbon are considered inorganic.Here are a few of each:Organic Compounds:CH4 - methaneC2H6 - ethaneC2H4 - etheneC3H8 - propaneC3H6 - propeneC4H10 - butaneC6H6 - benzeneC7H8 - touleneC6H6O - phenolInorganic Compounds:NaCl - sodium chlorideCO2 - carbon dioxideH2O - waterNO2 - nitrogen dioxideHCl - hydrochloric acidCuCl2 - copper(II) chlorideFe2O3 - iron(III) oxideMgCl2 - magnesium chlorideSee the Related Questions and Web Links a database and some common groups of organic compounds.
The study of chemicals containing carbon is traditionally contain what type of chemistry?
Inorganic chemistry. (A few compounds that DO contain carbon are part of inorganic chemistry too.)
Is air freshener inorganic or organic?
Air refresheners contain organic compounds.
Explain the differences between organic and inorganic compounds.?
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).
Difference between organic and inorganic in terms of general property?
In general, organic compounds are those compounds which contain carbon (with few exceptions). Inorganic compounds do not
What is the difference of organic compound and inorganic compound in terms of boiling point?
In general, organic compounds are those compounds which contain carbon (with few exceptions). Inorganic compounds do not
What are the classification of organic and inorganic compound?
Organic compounds are those which contain carbon bonds in them. Inorganic compounds dont have carbon (with a few exceptions).
Important of inorganic compound in the industrial develoment?
inorganic compounds represent everything that does not contain carbon as a chemical compound (with very few exceptions) this means that almost every process that happens in the industrial world has the use of an inorganic compound. In fact almost everyone depends on inorganic compounds to simple get through the day.

What form of chemistry doesn't contain carbon?
Inorganic chemistry generally deals with compounds that don't contain carbon. A few inorganic compounds (such as carbon dioxide, carbonates, etc.) do contain carbon, however.

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!}
What atoms are in wood?
Wood contains quite a few atoms such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen which are combined together to make compounds such as celluose.
What are examples of industrial inorganic chemicals not elsewhere classified?
A few examples are alum, ammonium compounds (except for fertilizer), industrial bleaches (sodium or calcium hypochlorite), chemical catalysts, hydrazine, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, inorganic sodium compounds, and sulfuric acid.
