Inorganic Chemistry is concerned >with the properties and behaviour of inorganic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (carbon based compounds), which are the subjects of Organic Chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, and there is much overlap, most importantly in. the sub-discipline of Organometallic. Chemistry. Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry focuses on the classification of compounds, based on their properties.
