A compound which does not contain carbon. There are exceptions to this definition; carbonates, bicarbonates, and carbon dioxide are generally considered as inorganic compounds.
inorganic. Compare with organic. A compound that does not contain carbon chemically bound to hydrogen. Carbonates, bicarbonates, carbides, and carbon oxides are considered inorganic compounds, even though they contain carbon.
compounds that do not contain carbon atoms. Water, O2, and NaCl are examples of inorganic compounds.
Combination of two or more elements other than those used to form organic compounds. See organic compound.
any compound that usually lacks carbon, is usually small, and contains ionic bonds; examples include water as well as many acids, bases, and salts
a chemical compound not classified as an organic compound; most inorganic compounds do not contain carbon and are derived from mineral sorces.
any compound that does not contain carbon
a chemical compound A chemical compound is a chemical substance formed from two or more elements, with a fixed ratio determining the composition
a chemical compound not containing carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded to each
a compound that generally does not contain carbon atoms (although carbonate and bicarbonate compounds are notable exceptions) and tends to be more soluble in water
A chemical that is not based on covalent carbon bonds. Important examples are metals, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous, minerals, and carbon dioxide.
Compounds that contain no carbon or contain only carbon bound to elements other than hydrogen.
A compound that generally does not contain carbon atoms, although carbonate and bicarbonate compounds are notable exceptions. Examples of inorganic compounds include various acids, potassium hydroxide, and metals.
A chemical compound that does not contain carbon.
A chemical compound not based on carbon.
Chemical compounds that do not contain carbon as the principal element (except carbonates, cyanides, and cyanates).
A substance that does not contain carbon (except as carbonates, cyanates, cyanides, or carbide).
An inorganic compound is a chemical compound that is not an organic compound. Traditionally, inorganic compounds came principally from mineral sources of non-biological origin. Most known inorganic compounds are however synthetic and are not obtained directly from nature.
