	Inorganic chemistry of carbon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There is a rich variety of carbon chemistry that does not fall within the realm of organic chemistry and is thus called inorganic carbon chemistry.
		Other types include (but are not limited to) inorganic salts and complexes of the carbon-containing polyatomic ions, cyanide, cyanate, thiocyanate, carbonate, and carbide.
		The known inorganic chemistry of the allotropes of carbon (diamond, graphite, and the fullerenes) blossomed with the discovery of buckminsterfullerene in the late twentieth century as additional fullerenes and their various derivatives were discovered.

	Inorganic chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the properties and reactions of inorganic compounds.
		Inorganic chemistry is based upon physical chemistry and forms the basis for mineralogy and materials chemistry.
		The range of inorganic chemistry includes both molecular compounds, which exist as discrete molecules, and crystals, whose structures are described by infinite lattices of regularly-ordered atoms and which are studied by crystallography and solid-state chemistry.

		The primary division of the first type is between inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry.
		The original distinction between organic and inorganic chemistry arose as chemists gradually realized that compounds of biological origin were quite different in their general properties from those of mineral origin; organic chemistry was defined as the study of substances produced by living organisms.

		It was for this reason, men argued, that inorganic substances might be found anywhere; in the realm of life and in that of non-life as well, as water might be found in both the ocean and the blood.
		There were grounds for arguing that ammonium cyanate was not truly inorganic and, even if it were, the change over from ammonium cyanate to urea (as was eventually made clear) was merely the result of an alteration of the positions of the atoms within the molecule.
		Inorganic chemistry was then the chemistry of compounds that did not contain carbon.

	Chapter 1 Inorganic Chemistry
		Organic chemistry is usually defined as the chemistry of compounds of carbon, inorganic chemistry being then the chemistry of all the other elements.
		It is best, therefore, to think of inorganic chemistry as the chemistry of all the elements, with organic chemistry as being a more detailed study of certain important aspects of one of them - viz.
		For example, alcohols and ethers are usually dealt with under organic chemistry and are not thought of as being part of the chemistry of oxygen.

	Compounds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Some of the classes of organic compounds include aliphatic compounds, chains of carbon which may be modified by functional groups; aromatic hydrocarbons, compounds containing one or more benzene rings; heterocyclic compounds which include non-carbon atoms as part of a ring structure; and polymers, long chains of repeating groups.
		The dividing line between organic and inorganic is contended and historically arbitrary; generally speaking, however, organic compounds are defined as those compounds which have carbon-hydrogen bonds, and inorganic compounds, those without.
		Thus carbonic acid is inorganic, whereas formic acid, the first fatty acid, is organic, although it could as well be called "carbonous acid" and its anhydride, carbon monoxide, is inorganic.

		Title : A Study of the Transfer of Carbon Across the Seasonal Boundary Layer of the Ocean Abstract : 9402308 MARSHALL Dynamical, chemical and biological processes will be studied that control the transfer of carbon across the seasonal boundary layer of the ocean on the scale of ocean gyres.
		The study employs a bio-geochemical model of the carbon cycle, driven by off-line transport parameters from a general circulation model of the North Atlantic undergoing a seasonal cycle.
		A hierarchy of experiments is proposed in which the model is integrated separately with representations of; a passive tracer; air-sea transfer and inorganic chemistry of carbon; nutrients and biology.

		Carbon wasn't recognized as an element until the seventeenth century, after Robert Boyle suggested that an element was a substance that could not be decomposed into simpler substances.
		Diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon have been known throughout written history, but it was not known that they were different forms of the same substance until the late eighteenth century.
		He burned carefully weighed diamond and carbon samples and showed that both substances produced no water vapor and the same amount of carbon dioxide gas per gram.
