Answer & Explanation:

The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms. ... Meanwhile, inorganic compounds include the salts, metals, and other elemental compounds.
