How do inorganic and organic compounds difffer?

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

Traditionally organic compounds are considered compounds containing carbon; but a rigorous boundary doesn't exist - some inorganic compounds (as carbonates, carbides, cyanides etc.) contain also carbon.

Answer 3

Inorganic compounds generally do not contain carbon and are simpler in structure compared to organic compounds, which always contain carbon bonded to other elements like hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. Organic compounds are typically associated with living organisms and tend to be more complex and diverse in terms of molecules and reactions they can participate in.

Answer 4

Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not.

Answer 5

Organic compounds consist of carbon and its hydrogen-containing compounds while inorganic compounds can be of any element that does not have carbon bonded to hydrogen.

Answer 6

Organic compounds contain carbon chains and inorganic compounds do not

Answer 7

Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not
