What does inorganic chemistry study?

  1. Substances containing carbon

  2. Substances that do not contain carbon

  3. Only metallic structures

  4. Biological tissues

The correct answer is: Substances that do not contain carbon

Inorganic chemistry is the study of substances that do not contain carbon. As opposed to organic chemistry, which focuses on compounds containing carbon, inorganic chemistry includes the study of elements, minerals, metals, and compounds such as salts and oxides. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they either refer to substances that do contain carbon (A) or limit the scope of inorganic chemistry to only metallic structures (C) or biological tissues (D). Therefore, it is important to understand the distinction between organic and inorganic chemistry to correctly answer this question.
