Inorganic compounds

Inorganic compounds are chemical substances that typically do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. They encompass a wide range of materials, including metals, minerals, salts, and acids. Unlike organic compounds, which are mainly derived from living organisms, inorganic compounds can be found in nature and are often the building blocks of geological and biological processes. Common examples include water (H2O), table salt (NaCl), and minerals like quartz. They play crucial roles in various fields, such as chemistry, geology, and biology, due to their diverse properties and reactions.
