Inorganic compounds are generally defined as compounds that lack carbon - carbon bonds or carbon - hydrogen bonds. While there are some exceptions like carbonates and cyanides, they mostly do not contain carbon atoms. They are not always highly reactive and explosive, not necessarily containing only small amounts of carbon, not made up of only one element, and not always toxic and harmful.
