Chemistry involving elements are inorganic.
These include the elements themselves (Hydrogen, Rhodium), what make up the elements (atoms), what makes up the atoms (nucleus, protons, electrons, quark, gluons), and what elements make up (rocks). This is one of the broadest form of inorganic chemistry.
(Note: Coal and Diamonds are considered organic chemistry because they are made up of carbon).

Inorganic chemistry deals with the combining of all types of atoms into molecules. Combining oxygen with hydrogen (H2O) is part of inorganic chemistry. Organic chemistry deals mainly with the combination of carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbons) with various atoms to make molecules included in or similar to living matter. Gasoline distilled from prehistoric life is part of organic chemistry. Of course organic and inorganic chemistry overlap but are often taught in college as separate courses. Hope that helps a little.

Inorganic Chemistry is the field of study that covers all atoms except carbon. An example is salt, NaCl or nitrate, NO3. As long as the atoms or compunds you are dealing with are absent from carbon (C), that is Inorganic Chemistry.

Sure. Sodium hydroxide plus hydrochloric acid creates sodium chloride in solution. NaOH + HCl = H2O + NaCl
In this example, all the chemicals are inorganic and the results are inorganic.
