-Inorganic chemistry, the branch of chemistry which 
treats of those substances which do not contain car- 
bon Formerly organic chemistry treated of substances 
produced by animal or vegetable organisms or formed by 
metamorphoses of such organisms, which invariably con- 
tained carbon, and usually both hydrogen and oxygen, 
while nitrogen was present in very many of them. They 
were called organic compounds. Inorganic chemistry 
treated of all other substances. It was the prevalent 
opinion that organic substances could be produced only 
by a force peculiar to living organisms, called vital force, 
But since many so-called organic compounds have been 
made artificially from inorganic materials, the distinction 
has disappeared. Organic chemistry is now the chemistry 
of carbon and all its compounds, and inorganic chemistry 
is the chemistry of all other elements and compounds.
