Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry involving the reactions, structures, and properties of all noncarbon-based compounds. This includes all the chemical elements in their pure and semipure states (except carbon). Some simple carbon...

The study of chemical reactions and properties of all the elements and their compounds, with the exception of hydrocarbons, and usually including carbides, oxides of carbon, metallic carbonates, carbon-sulfur compounds, and carbon-nitrogen...

Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (compounds containing C-H bonds), which are the subjects of...
