I know the definition of organic and inorganic chemistry. I want examples of the substances!!

Inorganic compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Inorganic substance)
Jump to: navigation, search
Main article: inorganic chemistry
An inorganic compound is a chemical compound that is not an organic compound. Traditionally, inorganic compounds came principally from mineral sources of non-biological origin. Most known inorganic compounds are however synthetic and are not obtained directly from nature.

According to contemporary definitions, inorganic compounds include all compounds containing metals and metalloids. Although most carbon compounds are considered organic, cyanide salts, carbon oxides and carbonates are usually considered to be inorganic.

An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon and hydrogen; therefore, carbides, carbonates, carbon oxides and elementary carbon are not organic (see below for more on the definition controversy for this word). The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry, and since it is a vast collection of chemicals (over half of all known chemical compounds), systems have been devised to classify organic compounds. A few of the compound classes based on the functional groups they carry are as follows:

Acid anhydrides
Acyl halides
Alcohols
Aldehydes
Alkanes
Alkenes
Amides
Amines
Aromatics
Azo compounds
Carboxylic acids
Esters
Ethers
Haloalkanes
Imines
Ketones
Nitriles
Nitro compounds
Organometallic compounds
Phenols
Polymers, including all plastics
Thiols

Hope this helps and try and get some sleep

Very broad definition is that organic compounds are based on and contain carbon. But merely having a carbon is the structure does not make a compound organic - as an example CO , CO2, HCN, NaCN CaCO3 are inorganic compounds. So the definition is expanded to say that the carbon must be covalently bonded to hydrogen , in order for the compound to be considered as organic. This then has a problem when you consider CCl4 which is definitely organic , but does not contain hydrogen. Most chemists will say that organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds , but that carbonates , cyanides, carbides and oxides of carbon are inorganic.

Organic substances are basically anything that has a base of Carbons with Hydrogen. The simplest of these is Methane gas, which is CH4. Many of these (I am tempted to say all) organic compounds are flammable... for instance, methane, ethane, propane and butane are all fossil fuels. One organic compound is Ethanol... this is the alcohol people drink. Organic compounds are all of biological origin, therefore even our own bodies are organic.

Inorganic compounds are basically NOT organic! lol. These are compounds that are from mineral sources of non biological origin. These would include metals and metalloids, eg Iron, Copper and Aluminum.

Organic chemistry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Organic chemistry is a specific discipline within the subject of chemistry. It is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of chemical compounds of carbon and hydrogen, which may contain any number of other elements, such as nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, and, more rarely, phosphorus or sulfur [1] [2].

The original definition of organic chemistry came from the misperception that these compounds were always related to life processes, but now it is known that life also depends heavily on inorganic chemistry; for example, many enzymes rely on transition metals such as iron and copper; and materials such as shells, teeth and bones are part organic, part inorganic in composition. Inorganic chemistry deals, apart from elemental carbon, only with simple carbon compounds, with molecular structures which do not contain carbon to carbon connections (its oxides, acids, salts, carbides, and minerals). This does not mean that single-carbon organic compounds do not exist (viz. methane and its simple derivatives). Compounds that are related to life processes are dealt with in the branch of chemistry which is called biochemistry.

Because of their unique properties, multi-carbon compounds exhibit extremely large variety and the range of application of organic compounds is enormous. They form the basis of or are important constituents of many products (paints, plastics, food, explosives, drugs, petrochemicals, and many others) and of course (apart from a very few exceptions) they form the basis of all life processes.

The different shapes and chemical reactivities of organic molecules provide an astonishing variety of functions, like those of enzyme catalysts in biochemical reactions of live systems. The autopropagating nature of these is what life is all about.

Because of the special properties of carbon, it is likely that life on other star systems will be found to be carbon-based, in spite of speculations about the possibility of substituting silicon, which lies just below carbon in the periodic table.

Trends in organic chemistry include chiral synthesis, green chemistry, microwave chemistry, fullerenes and microwave spectroscopy.
