* Water (H₂O) is a simple inorganic molecule. It contains hydrogen and oxygen, two non-metal elements.
* Sodium chloride (NaCl) is also an inorganic compound. It is formed from the ionic bond between the metal sodium (Na) and the non-metal chlorine (Cl).
Inorganic molecules generally lack carbon-hydrogen bonds, which are the hallmark of organic molecules. They are often found in the earth's crust and are essential for life.
