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. |
