Classification Of Inorganic Substances and Their Types
Keywords:
Inorganic, amphoteric, oxide, salt-formingAbstract
In chemistry, an inorganic compound is typically a chemical compound that lacks carbon–hydrogen bonds, that is, a compound that is not an organic compound. However, the distinction is not clearly defined; authorities have differing views on the subject. The study of inorganic compounds is a subfield of chemistry known as inorganic chemistry
