While both chemistries study chemical and molecular bonds, the difference lies in the elements they study. While organic chemistry studies compounds based on carbon and hydrogen, inorganic chemistry looks at all other chemical elements. There are inorganic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen; however, organic compounds are not possible without carbon.
Furthermore, inorganic chemistry studies compounds created synthetically with bonds involving electrostatic interactions, which are good conductors of heat and electricity; organic chemistry focuses on compounds formed by covalent bonds, meaning they share electrons in their atoms’ last energy levels.
