GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Inorganic molecules don’t contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. Most don’t contain carbon at all. Examples include metals, minerals and salts. Sodium chloride, or table salt, is inorganic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon-containing compounds considered inorganic are the following: carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, thiocyanates, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Allotropes of carbon, like a diamond, are not compounds but a pure element of carbon. Thus, they are not inorganic compounds but inorganic substances.

Detailed explanation-3: -inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always contain carbon while most inorganic compounds do not contain carbon. Also, nearly all organic compounds contain carbon-hydrogen or C-H bonds. Note that containing carbon is not sufficient for a compound to be considered organic.
