what is the diff. between organic & inorganic & physical chemistry?

Organic chem is the study of carbon containing molecules and their reactions.\nInorganic chem is the study of non-carbon containing molecules.  Many of the reagents used in organic synthesis are inorganic.\nPhysical chemistry is the study of how chemical reactions work; the energy used or given off, the kinetics (how fast a reaction proceeds) and the mathematical modeling of chemical events.

Chemistry of carbon compounds is known as organic chemistry. Organic chemistry encompasses study of all carbon-hydrogen compounds. These are also called hydrocarbons. Inorganic carbon chemistry is the study of oxides, nitrides and allotropes of carbon.\n\nThere are many differences between organic and inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are mostly insoluble in water. They have low melting points and exist by forming covalent bonds. Inorganic compounds on the other hand usually dissolve in water and have high melting points. Inorganic compounds can be formed due to either ionic or covalent bonds. Another characteristic of organic compounds is that they are inflammable.\n\nCarbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Its chemical symbol is 12C 6. Its electronic configuration is 2 electrons in the K-shell, and 4 electrons in the L-shell. In principle it should either give up or borrow 4 electrons while forming compounds. But it doesn’t form ionic bonds at all. It likes to share its four electrons with other atoms and form covalent bonds instead. Carbon covalent bonds are the strongest in nature.\nWe might expect that a carbon atom to form three bonds of one kind using the p orbital electrons and one bond of another kind using the s orbital electron. But this does not happen!! The one 2s and three 2p orbitals mix together and give rise to four new altogether different types of orbitals. This is called  hybridization and is seen only in carbon atom. The four orbitals are at an angle of 109028’. This is called tetrahedral or sp3 (pronounced as sp three) type of hybridization. There are sp2 and sp types of hybridization also.

polar.\n\nThe best way to think of it is in terms of water solubility.  Non polar organic molecules usually have lots of hydrogens, and usually no oxygens.

Hi there,\n\nkinetics is a vast subject. Maybe you should try to add some details to your question. There's chemical kinetics, human kinetics, etc. Anyway, try this lead first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics

A physical change would include changes that have to do with the physical aspects of the substance, such as: color, state of matter, or temperature. A chemical change occurs when a reaction takes place and a new substance is produced, like the reaction of sodium and chlorine to produce salt.

Physical properties are those which entail the actual physics structure of matter, while chemical properties are those which cocern the chemical makeup of matter.

A chemical change is one that produces one or more new substances with different properties from those of the starting materials.\nA physical change is which the chemical composition of the starting material does not change and no new substance is formed.

They are all different. I am a chemical engineer.\nMechanical to electrical is like a car's battery charger.\nChemical to mechanical is like an gas in a car engine.\nChemical to thermal is like the heat that is given off in the car engine and transferred through the radiator.\n\nI hope that is clear.

Organic = Contains carbon\nInorganic = No carbon\n\nThis is not always true because of carbon dioxide.

The most important concept of organic chemistry is "the interaction of filled and empty orbitals is stabilising!" Keep that in mind and you will be fine.

Yes and No...\n\nAll Organic Compounds contain Carbon, but not all compounds containing Carbon are Organic.\n\nas quoted from my source, listed below...\n\n"An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with the exception of carbides, carbonates, carbon oxides and gases containing carbon.The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry. Many of these compounds, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (sugars), are also of prime importance in biochemistry.\n\nThe dividing line between organic and inorganic is contended and historically arbitrary; generally speaking, however, organic compounds are defined as those compounds which have carbon-hydrogen bonds, and inorganic compounds, those without. Thus carbonic acid is inorganic, whereas formic acid, the first fatty acid, is organic, although it could as well be called "carbonous acid" and its anhydride, carbon monoxide, is inorganic"

Depends on the instructor's approach. Most of the time Organic Chemistry is nothing more than rote memorization. I personally dreaded it. The 2 Biochemistry, 2 Inorganic Chemistry and 3 Physical Chemistry courses I took were far more exciting.\n\nYou will encounter it (although infrequently) as a biologist, depending on your discipline.

An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon and hydrogen; therefore, carbides, carbonates, carbon oxides and elementary carbon are not organic. The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry, and since it is a vast collection of chemicals (over half of all known chemical compounds), systems have been devised to classify organic compounds. A few of the compound classes are as follows:\n\nAcid anhydrides \nAcyl halides \nAlcohols \nAldehydes \nAlkanes \nAlkenes \nAmides \nAmines \nAromatics \nAzo compounds \nCarboxylic acids \n Esters \nEthers \nHaloalkanes \nImines \nKetones \nNitriles \nNitro compounds \nOrganometallics \nPhenols \nPolymers, including all plastics \nThiols \n \nMethane, a common fuel, is the simplest possible organic compound\n\nMany organic compounds are also of prime importance in biochemistry:\n\nAntigens \nPolysaccharides, carbohydrates and sugars \nEnzymes \nHormones \nLipids and fatty acids \nNeurotransmitters \nNucleic acids \nProteins, peptides and amino acids \nVitamins
