Organic Compounds vs Inorganic Compounds


Chemical compounds are of two types Organic Compounds and Inorganic Compounds. The primary distinction between them lies in their composition and bonding characteristics. Below are the key differences between organic and inorganic chemical compounds.
 
Organic Compounds Inorganic Compounds
They primarily contain carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together. Other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus may also be present in organic molecules. These compounds may contain carbon, but they predominantly consist of elements other than carbon and hydrogen.
Covalent bonding is prevalent in organic molecules, and they often form long-chain structures. Ionic bonding is common, resulting in the formation of salts and crystals.
Organic compounds are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Inorganic compounds are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Organic compounds are insoluble in water. Inorganic compounds are soluble in water.
Organic compounds are generally combustible, meaning they can burn in the presence of oxygen. Inorganic compounds often exhibit limited combustibility.
Organic compounds have low melting and boiling points. Inorganic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
Organic compounds are more complicated and biological in nature. Inorganic compounds are mineral based and not much complex.
An example of Organic compound is Ammonium Acetate. An example of Inorganic compound is Di Ammonium Phosphate.
