Organic chemistry is a division of chemistry that deals with molecules that have cabon atoms at the core of their structure. Inorganic chemistry covers everything else From the name, you might think that organic chemistry only deals with chemicals from living things, but this really isn't the case. The production of many synthetic chemicals such as solvents and drugs involve organic chemistry. And, in many cases, inorganic chemistry is important to processes in living organisms. The formation of bone is one example.

Organic chemistry deals with molecules and reactions that contain both hydrogen and carbon (hydrocarbons). Many materials that we we use in everyday life are organic, like cloth, plastic, fuels, soap, etc. Inorganic chemistry deals with molecules that do not have carbon and hydrogen. These include metals, some rocks and minerals, water, etc. Most inorganic principles also apply to organic chemistry.

its like the difference between rocks and animals one is inorganic and one is organic or one is biological and one is not the difference is the study of non biological elements h (hydrogen),c(carbon),o(oxygen),n(nitrogen) etc, are all the building blocks of organisms..most chemistry that have these and others in them would be organic its a little more complex than that..but thats the simplest way to explain
