Why there are millions of organic compound but only thousand of inogranic compound?

Answer 1

Most of the organic compounds exhibit isomerism but in inorganic compounds isomersim is limited example transition elements. Take example of one inorganic compound POCl3-phosphorus oxochloride, it does not exhibit isomer so it does not show any rearrangement but when you take an example of organic compound alkene that is butene which has molecular formula of C4H8 can be in two structures i.e CH2=CH-CH2-CH3 it is named as 1-butene and CH3-CH=CH-CH3 it is named as two butene.

Answer 2

Organic compounds are made up of carbon atoms, which can form a vast number of complex structures due to carbon's ability to bond with itself and other elements in many different ways. Inorganic compounds, on the other hand, are composed of elements other than carbon, which have less diversity in bonding patterns and structural arrangements, leading to fewer possible combinations and a smaller number of distinct compounds.
