Organic compounds have a carbon atom whereas almost all inorganic compounds don’t have a
carbon atom
While most inorganic compounds do not contain carbon, there are a few that do:
Organic compounds will include things like the nucleic acids, found in DNA, lipids and fatty acids
found in the cells of living organisms, proteins and enzymes that are necessary for cellular processes
to take place, and more.
Meanwhile, inorganic compounds include the salts, metals, and other elemental compounds, not
based in life.
