Question

What are examples of organic compounds compared to nonorganic compounds?

Answer 1

The term organic chemistry refers to the chemistry of carbon bound to hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, and a few other heteroatoms.

Explanation:

Chemistry that is not `"organic chemistry"` falls under the umbrella of `"inorganic chemistry"`. Organic chemistry covers the chemistry of hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, proteins, and all of biological chemistry.

And `"inorganic chemistry"` covers everything that is not covered by organic chemistry. The chemistry of the transition metals is especially important, as it encompasses reactions that cannot be easily performed by organic chemists; it includes acid-base chemistry; complex formation; transition metal chemistry; and the chemistry of the main-group metals.
