inorganicity
Inorganicity refers to the chemical and structural properties that distinguish inorganic compounds from organic ones. Inorganic chemistry primarily studies substances that do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, though some exceptions exist, such as carbonates and cyanides. These compounds often exhibit diverse physical and chemical behaviors compared to organic molecules, which are typically based on carbon frameworks.
Inorganic substances can be broadly categorized into metals, metalloids, nonmetals, and their respective compounds. Metals, for
The concept of inorganicity is fundamental in defining the scope of inorganic chemistry, which contrasts with
Inorganicity plays a critical role in various technological and industrial applications, including the development of semiconductors,
