Even though the question is a little vague the answer is no. The specifics of carbon atoms allow them to form an almost endless variety of molecules among themselves or with the addition of other atoms (commonly hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen etc.). That doesn't mean that there are no complex inorganic molecules (eg perovskites) but in general organic chemistry is more versatile and therefore rich and complex

Organic molecules are generally much larger than inorganic molecules. This is because organic molecules are made of a carbon backbone with additional function groups, ranging from a hydrogen atom to another organic compound, attached to the carbon backbone. In contrast, inorganic molecules tend to be formed of salts (cations bonded to anions), alloys or nonmetals. However, there are some instances in which certain inorganic molecules are larger than certain organic molecules, such as ammonium being larger than methane.

Inorganic molecules are generally small. Compared to an organic molecule with its complex bonding of various atoms, an inorganic molecule is smaller.

Many gases can be either small molecules or large molecules. This is largely dependent on the bonds of each gas.

Why are molecules important?

Because our body use them in all the biochemicals reactions that allow us to live. They are necessary, some in small doses some in bigger. That is why we separate them in macronutrients (inorganic molecules used in big quantity) and micronutrients (inorganic molecules used in small quantities)"
