Inorganic Chemistry

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Inorganic chemistry explores the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds and hence covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (carbon-based compounds), which are the subjects of organic chemistry. Inorganic chemistry has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry, including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medications, fuels, and agriculture.
