In general organic compounds / substances / materials contain carbon atoms bonded with other atoms 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).

Is inorganic in all minerals?

No, not all minerals are inorganic. While most minerals are classified as inorganic, there are exceptions, such as certain organic minerals like some carbonates and sulfates that can contain organic compounds. Additionally, minerals can form from biological processes, such as the formation of shells and skeletons in marine organisms. Thus, while the majority of minerals are inorganic, there are organic minerals that exist as well.


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.
