Carbon compounds such as carbides (e.g., silicon carbide [SiC2]), some carbonates (e.g., calcium carbonate [CaCO3]), some cyanides (e.g., sodium cyanide [NaCN]), graphite, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are classified as inorganic.

Inorganic compounds are often quite simple, as they do not form the complex molecular bonds that carbon makes possible. A common example of a simple inorganic compound would be sodium chloride, known more commonly as household salt. This compound contains only two atoms, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).

Examples of inorganic compounds include table salt, diamond and carbon dioxide.

In general, there are four groups of inorganic compound types. They are divided into bases, acids, salts, and water.

Chemistry, from the ancient Egyptian word “khēmia” meaning transmutation of earth, is the science of matter at the atomic to molecular scale, dealing primarily with collections of atoms, such as molecules, crystals, and metals.

Inorganic chemistry is concerned with the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds, which include metals, minerals, and organometallic compounds.

Antoine Lavoisier, the Father of Modern Chemistry (McKie, Douglas)

Marie Anne Paulze Lavoisier

Aristotle

The word chemistry is said to have roots in either ancient Egypt or Greece. Science historian Howard Markel discusses the word’s origin, and the modern naming of the field of chemistry by British natural philosopher and alchemist Robert Boyle in his 1661 treatise, The Skeptical Chymist.

Antoine Lavoisier

Jöns Jacob Berzelius Along with Lavoisier, Boyle, and Dalton, Berzelius is known as the father of modern chemistry. In 1828 he compiled a table of relative atomic weights, where oxygen was used as a standard, with its weight set at 100, and which included all of the elements known at the time.

Trigonometry in the modern sense began with the Greeks. Hipparchus (c. 190–120 bce) was the first to construct a table of values for a trigonometric function.

Math seems difficult because it takes time and energy. Many people don’t experience sufficient time to “get” math lessons, and they fall behind as the teacher moves on. Many move on to study more complex concepts with a shaky foundation. We often end up with a weak structure that is doomed to collapse at some point.
