  • Inorganic Substances: Definition, Examples & Key Characteristics
    Water (H₂O) is an example of an inorganic substance.

    Here's why:

    * No carbon backbone: Inorganic compounds generally lack a carbon backbone, which is a defining characteristic of organic compounds.

    * Simple structure: Water has a simple molecular structure consisting of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.

    Other examples of inorganic substances include:

    * Salt (NaCl)

    * Iron (Fe)

    * Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

    * Limestone (CaCO₃)

    * Glass
