Calcium compounds, silicon compounds, metallic compounds, etc.

Explanation:

Inorganic matter is just anything that is not organic matter. Organic matter is any molecules and compounds that have carbon bonded with other elements in them, such as glucose #(C_6H_12O_6)#, amine compounds #(R-NH_2)#,...

So, an example of inorganic matter would be hexamminecobalt(III) chloride, with the formula #[Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3#.
