Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry handles with the synthesis and behaviour of inorganic and organometallic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds but not the carbon based compounds which are the subjects of organic chemistry. It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry catalysis, material science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medicine, fuel, agriculture. And many inorganic compounds are ionic compounds, consisting of cat-ions and anions joined by ionic bonding. Inorganic compounds are naturally found in nature as minerals. The easiest inorganic reaction is double displacement when in mixing of two salts the ions are swapped without a change in oxidation state. In redox reactions one reactant, the oxidant lowers its oxidation state and the other reactant has its oxidation state increased. Different classifications are : Coordination compounds , Main group compounds , Transition metal compounds , Organometallic compounds , Bioinorganic compounds , Solid state compounds. The global inorganic scintillators market is broadly categorized into healthcare, nuclear power plants, industrial and defence. In 2013, the healthcare accounted for the largest share of the global inorganic scintillators market, by application.
