Organic compounds r those which r obtained from some living source, while inorganic componds have non-living source.
organic compound contains carbon whereas inorganic compound contains no carbon
organic are carbon chains and have covalent bonding. nonorganic will have ionic bonding with metals bonding to non-metals or just simply no carbon chain.
An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. for eg , organic acids , alcohols , azo compounds , amines , aromatics are all organic compounds.
on the other hand - inoranic compouds are evrything other than organic compounds - lke salts , acids like sulphuric and hydrochloric acids etc
Organic compounds all contain carbon and hydrogen and maybe oxygen and other additions. A few exceptions to this rule are things like methane, carbon dioxide and acetic acid which are not considered organic.
