What is inorganic chemistry?
Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the properties and reactions of inorganic compounds. This includes all chemical compounds except the many which are based upon chains or rings of carbon atoms, which are termed organic compounds and are studied under the separate heading of organic chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is not absolute and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry There are four categories of inorganic chemical reactions: combination reactions, decomposition reactions, single displacement reactions, and double displacement reactions. Major branches of inorganic chemistry include Minerals, such as salt, asbestos, silicates, … Metals and their alloys, like iron, copper, aluminium, brass, bronze, … Compounds involving non-metallic elements, like silicon, phosphorus, chlorine, oxygen, for example water Metal complexes Commercially important inorganic substances include silicon c
