Inorganic chemistry is a subdiscipline of chemistry involving the scientific study of the properties and reactions of all chemical elements and chemical compounds other than the vast number of organic compounds (compounds containing at least one carbon-hydrogen bond).[1][2]
There are a number of subdivisions of inorganic chemistry such as the four subdivisions of the American Chemical Society's Division of Inorganic Chemistry , namely organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, solid-state chemistry and nanoscience.[3]
