What is the difference between organic matter and inorganic matter?

Answer 1

organic carbon compounds derived from plants or animals. They usually contain carbon and hydrogen along. For example, carbohydrates (such as glucose: C6H12O6), proteins and palm oil. They have low melting and boiling point and insulator for electric conductivity. They able to dissolve in organic solvent (such as methanol, ether and chloroform) but not inorganic solvent ( such as water, acids and alkalis).

inorganic carbon compounds derived from minerals in the Earth. Usually the carbon comes along with a non-metallic element (for instance carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide). However, it may also comes along with a metallic element (for instance sodium hydrogen carbonate). Contrary to organic carbon compounds, they dissolved in inorganic solvent but not organic solvent.

You should also take note that there's also another classification of carbon compounds that is synthetic carbon compounds. As the name suggests, this group is artificially man-made compounds with carbon elements in it. For example, nylon, polyvinyl chloride (plastics).

Answer 2

the primary difference between irganic compounds and inorganic compounds always contain carbon while most inorganic compounds do not contain-carbon. Also almost all organic compounds contain carbonhydrogen or C-H bonds.
