inorganic chemistry
A major branch of chemistry comprising the study of all the elements and their compounds, except carbon compounds containing hydrogen (see organic chemistry). The elements are classified according to the periodic table. Classical inorganic chemistry is largely descriptive, synthetic, and analytical; modern theoretical inorganic chemistry is hard to distinguish from physical chemistry.
