Molecules that are not based on Carbon, or water. examples are metals, and gasses. Recent news suggests that organic substances, ( animo acids ) can be produced by sparks in a amonia bath, similar to the athmosphere of the young earth.
both inorganic and organic compounds

Description belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as alkali metal fluorides. These are inorganic compounds in which the largest halogen atom is fluorine, and the heaviest metal atom is an alkali metal. Kingdom Inorganic compounds
Producers are organisms like green plants, which produce organic compounds from inorganic compounds. The plants are then eaten by consumers like the grazing animals. Plants are known as the primary producers.
An inorganic compound is one that is not derived from a natural or living source. Unlike organic solvents which contain C-H bonds, inorganic compounds generally form ionic bonds between a cation and an anion forming salts. Examples: inorganic: NaOH, SiO2, MgSO4 organic: C6H6, C6H14
A chemotroph makes organic compounds from inorganic compounds.
Inorganic compounds are chemical compounds that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. They include salts, metals, minerals, and other substances. Inorganic compounds play critical roles in various industrial, biological, and environmental processes.
Minerals are inorganic compounds. They are naturally occurring substances with a defined chemical composition and crystal structure, unlike organic compounds which contain carbon and are typically derived from living organisms.
Inorganic substances do not contain hydrocarbons. Carbon and hydrogen are elements found in all organic compounds.
Organisms that make their own organic compounds from inorganic substances are called autotrophs. They are capable of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to produce their own food.
Inorganic refers to substances or compounds that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. Inorganic chemistry focuses on the properties and behaviors of elements and compounds other than carbon. Examples of inorganic substances include salts, metals, nonmetals, and minerals.
Plants do this.
organic compounds are substances that have carbon in them. inorganic compounds don't.
Minerals are inorganic elements. They are naturally occurring, solid substances with a defined chemical composition and crystal structure. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are typically associated with living organisms.
Traditionally organic compounds are considered compounds containing carbon but today this rule is not valid: inorganic substances as carbonates, carbides etc. contain also carbon. The chemistry of carbon is frequently appreciated as the chemistry of life.
they are inorganic
Inorganic chemistry is the type of chemistry that focuses mainly on substances that DON'T contain H-C bonds, like CO2, H2O, HNO3 etc. Inorganic compounds are usually formed without the help of living organisms.
