Inorganic Compounds.
(you think I'm wrong, look up 'Glencoe Science - Tennessee Science - Grade 7'
its 'Chapter 3 - Cell Processes , Section 1 - Chemistry of Life , page 77 , under the main idea of the passage titled 'INORGANIC COMPOUNDS')
Silicon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and metals are examples of elements that can be used to create compounds other than carbon-based ones. The properties and uses of these compounds vary widely depending on the specific elements involved.
Inorganic compunds
Most of them are called the group of INorganiccompounds.
A substance made from elements other than Carbon? Another way of asking this question might be 'Can you name some compounds that do not include Carbon?' There are many: Sulphur Dioxide, Iron Oxide, Calcium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Permanganate, Silicon Dioxide,...
In addition to carbon, the other three elements are oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
There are very many elements which will do that.
germanium, tin, and lead
OMG LOADS what about H2O, LiCl, CaO, H2SO4... they're called inorganic subtances
Carbon forms ionic bond with other elements if the electronegativity difference is more than 1.7 and covalent bond with other elements if the electronegativity difference is below 1.7
Inorganic compounds - usually made from elements other than
All elements other than carbon are likely to form inorganic compounds, and even carbon is at least sometimes found in inorganic compounds such as calcium carbonate.
Every living being is made of organic compounds. All the organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen. Other than that, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur are present in them.
