Inorganic Chemistry is a sub-branch of chemistry in which study about inorganic compounds, it's properties, compositions, reactions and structures. Inorganic compounds means non-carbon containing compounds. Photochemistry, Geochemistry, Nuclear Chemistry, Solid-State Chemistry, Theoretical Chemistry and Thermochemistry are their fields. Inorganic chemistry is a great subject for making career in fertilizer industries, acid industries, material science and many fields.
