Traditionally, inorganic compounds are considered to be of a mineral, not biological, origin. Complementarily, most organic compounds are traditionally viewed as being of biological origin. Over the past century, the precise classification of inorganic vs organic compounds has become less important to scientists, primarily because the majority of known compounds are synthetic and not of natural origin. Furthermore, most compounds considered the purview of modern inorganic chemistry contain organic ligands. The fields of organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry explicitly focus on the areas between the fields of organic, biological, and inorganic chemistry. Inorganic compounds can be formally defined with reference to what they are not—organic compounds. Organic compounds are those which contain carbon, although some carbon-containing compounds are traditionally considered inorganic. When considering inorganic chemistry and life, it is useful to recall that many species in nature are not compounds per se but are ions. Sodium, chloride, and phosphate ions are essential for life, as are some inorganic molecules such as carbonic acid, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and oxygen. Aside from these simple ions and molecules, virtually all species covered by bioinorganic chemistry contain carbon and can be considered organic or organometallic. Many compounds that contain carbon, are considered inorganic; for example, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, and thyocyanates. In general, however, the workers in these areas are not concerned about strict definitions. A large class of compounds discussed in inorganic chemistry textbooks are coordination compounds. Examples range from species that are strictly inorganic, such as [Co(NH3)6]Cl3, to organometallic compounds such as Fe(C5H5)2 and extending to bioinorganic compounds, such as the hydrogenase enzymes.

1. Introduction Of Esters
November 01, 2009
Esters are compunds formed from the reaction between alcoholsandacids.The word 'ester' alone now signifies by common usage that the acid is an organic acid, but inorganic acids can also form esters - ATP is an example well-known to biology students, being a phosphate ester. Even halogenoalkanes can be regarded as inorganic esters, of alcohols and hydrochloric acid. This section is, however, confined to esters of organic acids RCOOR' where R can be hydrogen or an organic group. Esters in the food industry Esters are widely used for flavourings; many are 'n...

3. Why Air Particulates Create a Need for Tougher Emissions Control...
October 21, 2009
Airborne particulate matter is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic substances that are divided into two groups: coarse and fine particles. The fine particles include formed aerosols (gas that turned to particles), combustion particles, and metal vapors. The large particles are things like dust from the road or a factory. The fine particles are the ones most directly linked to acid rain and those are the ones that we are going to deal with today. They have the most relevance to the new laws in California regulating the emissions from semi-tractor trailers. While Santa Cruz is not a big c... (read more)

4. Chloramine Water and Why It Is Dangerous For Your Health
October 19, 2009
Chloramine water is free of dangerous bacteria that can cause many illnesses, but that doesn’t necessarily mean our water that contains it is safe to drink. Many cities are switching to chloramine instead of using chlorine to kill the water borne bacteria.
One reason why the switch is made from adding chlorine to using this chemical is becasue chlorine interacts with the organic and inorganic matter in water and produces trihalomethanes (THM). These byproducts are known to cause cancer in lab tests done on animals, thus are considered harmful for humans. The EPA limits the amount of TH... (read more)

23. Six Tips to a Weed-Free Garden
July 06, 2009
Weeds are a part of a gardener’s life, and you’ll never be able to keep them out completely. However, there are a few steps you can take to make your garden less vulnerable.
Use mulch. You can lay down either organic mulch—usually wood chips, straw, leaves or grass clippings—or inorganic mulch such as an opaque plastic sheet. Mulch serves to shield the soil beneath your plants from sunlight, blocking new plants from growing.
Plant weed-suppressors. Some plants are natural weed-killers. These are usually fast-growing plants with large leaves that cast an expansive shadow.

24. Harnessing cosmic energy for profitable farming
June 23, 2009
Biodynamic agriculture, or simply ‘biodynamics,’ is a farming system based on deep ecological principles that arose as a reaction to the spread of specialised agriculture and inorganic fertilisers at the turn of the twentieth-century. In terms of methodological beliefs, biodynamic farming stands apart from other systems with its use of nine distinct preparations, consisting of extracts from various sources (minerals, plants, and animal manure) which are applied in minute proportions to plants, the soil, or compost.
In many ways, biodynamics is similar to traditional organic farming syste... (read more)

25. So How Do Water Filters Work and Which Ones are Best?
June 19, 2009
With the many different types of filter on the market today, it is important to ask how do water filters work to understand which are the most effective. Let me explain.
The reverse osmosis home water filters exposes water under pressure to a semi permeable membrane with a very fine pore structure. Because most inorganic contaminants have a larger molecular size than water, the membrane rejects certain contaminants, minerals and a large part of the water.
However, because many of today's harmful synthetic toxins like herbicides and prescription drugs are molecularly smaller than wate... (read more)
