Inorganic ( not life) chemistry studies chemical compounds' production, reactions and properties that do not require carbon-hydrogen bonds. Inorganic chemistry deals with the chemistry of inanimate things ( rocks, and minerals), which are non-carbon-based molecules and ions. The study of inorganic chemistry helps students to learn about
- the extraction of elements from their minerals
- production of compounds on the industrial scale and their uses( cement, sulphuric acid, fertilisers, etc.)
- the catalysts, surface active agents, medicines
- ceramics used in superconductors
