What are the types of inorganic compound?

Answer 1

From Wikipedia (see link below):

An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon; for historical reasons discussed below, a few types of compounds such as carbonates, carbon oxides and cyanides, as well as elemental carbon are considered inorganic.

Here are a few of each:

Organic Compounds:

• CH4 - methane
• C2H6 - ethane
• C2H4 - ethene
• C3H8 - propane
• C3H6 - propene
• C4H10 - butane
• C6H6 - benzene
• C7H8 - toulene
• C6H6O - phenol

Inorganic Compounds:

• NaCl - sodium chloride
• CO2 - carbon dioxide
• H2O - water
• NO2 - nitrogen dioxide
• HCl - hydrochloric acid
• CuCl2 - copper(II) chloride
• Fe2O3 - iron(III) oxide
• MgCl2 - magnesium chloride

Answer 2

compounds, classified under pure substances are generally divided into two categories, organic and inorganic compounds. organic compounds have carbon as one of their components.

inorganic compounds on the other hand are of three types, acids, bases, and salts.

Answer 3

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds (with some exceptions).

Inorganic chemistry is the chemistry of all other chemical elements.

Organic chemistry, examples: petrochemistry, biochemistry, organic dyes chemistry.

Inorganic chemistry, examples: noble gases chemistry, cement chemistry, actinides chemistry.

Answer 4

Some types of inorganic compounds include salts, oxides, sulfides, and acids. These compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are typically formed by elements other than carbon. Inorganic compounds play important roles in various chemical reactions and biological processes.

Answer 5

All compounds containing carbon as one of their component comes under category of Organic compounds!

Answer 6

Atoms do not contain compounds of any sort.

All compounds, both organic and inorganic, are made of atoms.
