Organic Chemistry it is the branch of Chemistry that studies molecules with carbon atoms. Ammonia (NH3) is a molecule that can be found in both the living and non-living realms. A good exemple of the later it is vulcanic activity. However, the reason this molecule is considered inorganic in Chemistry is that it does not have any carbon atom in it. Ammonia (NH3) contains only nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. Any molecule which contains carbon (C) is considered "Organic", e.g., CaCO3. Limestone, for example is primarily CaCO3, calcium carbonate, and is an organic molecule.
