How does organic chemistry differ from inorganic chemistry?

The chemistry of "the rest"—metals, minerals like salts and silicates, radioactive compounds, etc.—is known as inorganic chemistry, and it is typically taught to students initially because it offers the groundwork needed to understand other branches of chemistry.

Carbon compound chemistry is known as organic chemistry.

Life's chemistry is known as biological chemistry.

Organic chemistry primarily deals with carbon-containing compounds, while inorganic chemistry focuses on compounds that do not contain carbon. Organic chemistry often involves the study of molecules found in living organisms, whereas inorganic chemistry encompasses a broader range of compounds including minerals and metals. Additionally, organic compounds typically have covalent bonds, while inorganic compounds may have a combination of ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds.
