An inorganic compound is a chemical compound that is not an organic compound. Inorganic compounds come principally from mineral sources of non-biological origin. The modern definition of inorganic compounds often includes all metal-containing compounds, even those found in living systems. Although most carbon compounds are classed as organic, cyanide salts, carbon oxides and carbonates are usually considered to be inorganic.
Organic and inorganic
Although the number of inorganic compounds is huge, it is indeed overshadowed by the number of organic compounds — compounds which contain carbon and hydrogen bonded to each other, which comprise the vast majority of all compounds known. The science of chemistry is broadly divided into the two specialized fields of organic and inorganic chemistry which focus respectively on organic and inorganic compounds.
Inorganic compounds and living organisms
In the past it was believed that organic compounds are found only in organisms, and this was how the initial distinction between the two groups had been made. Today, however, we know that this is far from true: thousands of organic compounds were synthetically formed; they don't come from and don't exist in organisms: drugs and plastics, for example. At the same time, many inorganic compounds exist in organisms, and are essential to life: sodium chloride (common salt), carbonic acid, phosphate ions and many more. The study of metal compounds in living systems is called bioinorganic chemistry. More on [ Inorganic compound ]
