Here's why:

* Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of matter that doesn't contain carbon-hydrogen bonds (with a few exceptions like carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide). This includes the study of:

* The properties of elements

* The formation of inorganic compounds

* The reactions of inorganic substances

While organic chemists study compounds containing carbon and hydrogen, inorganic chemists delve into the fundamental building blocks of matter - the elements. They explore their:

* Physical and chemical properties (reactivity, bonding, etc.)

* Atomic structure

* Periodic trends

* Applications in various industries
