An inorganic compound is a chemical compound not containing carbon. However, elemental carbon ( diamond or graphite) is typically considered inorganic, while methane, ethanol and similar simple hydrocarbons are referred to as organic compounds.

Another key feature that makes a compound organic is the fact that they are found in organisms, IE. Citrus Acid is an organic compound because the orange produces it.

Inorganic chemistryInorganic 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 compound	Inorganic chemistry of carbonThere is a rich variety of carbon chemistry that does not fall within the realm of organic chemistry and is thus called inorganic carbon chemistry . Perhaps best well known are the oxides of carbon, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Other types include	Inorganic compoundAn inorganic compound is a chemical compound not containing carbon.

Inorganic nomenclatureInorganic nomenclature is a systematic way of naming inorganic compounds. Positively charged ions are called cations and negatively charged ions are called anions. The cation is always named first. Ions can be metals or polyatomic ions. Therefore the name	Inorganic electrolyteElectrolytes are ions necessary for vital cellular activity. They contribute to osmotic pressure of body fluids. Major electrolytes are Ca2+, K+, Na+, Mg2+, Cl-, HCO3-, HPO42-, SO42-.
