Chemicals, inorganic

Dataset description

Inorganic compounds are substances in which two or more chemical elements, usually other than carbon, are combined in definite proportions. They typically lack carbon-hydrogen bonds, meaning they are not organic compounds. The study of inorganic compounds is a subfield of chemistry known as inorganic chemistry. This field is used to study and develop catalysts, coatings, fuels, surfactants, materials, superconductors, and drugs.
