      Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon-containing compounds, the molecules which make up the bulk of natural things, such as plants and people. Inorganic chemistry is everything else! InorgChem is traditionally the study of metals and their salts etc., but the boundaries between organic and inorganic chemistry is becoming very blurred and a lot of modern research uses both subjects
