Organic compounds are all natural and are from nature whereas non organic compounds are made by people in a lab

The most common differentiation to help distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds used to be the fact that organic compounds result from the activity of living beings, whereas inorganic compounds are either the result of natural processes unrelated to any life form or the result of human experimentation in the laboratory.
