The differences between Organic compounds and Inorganic compounds are:

S.N  organic compounds Inorganic compounds
1.  Organic compounds are not soluble in water. Inorganic compounds are soluble in water.
2. Organic compounds present in gas, liquid and solid-state. Inorganic compounds mainly found in solid-state, some liquid and some are in the gas state.
3. Ionization is Absent Ionization is present.
4. A covalent bond is present. In most of them electrovalent bond is present.
5. They burn easily. They do not burn easily.
6. They always have a carbon atom. They do not contain carbon atom.
7. organic compounds are artificial compounds. Inorganic compounds are natural compounds.
8. The low rate of reaction. The high rate of reaction.
9.. They have low melting and boiling points. They have a high melting point.

Inorganic Compounds
1. Organic compounds are characterized by the presence of carbon atoms in them Most inorganic compounds do not have carbon atoms in them (some exceptions do exist)
2. Organic compounds consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and their other derivatives They do not possess hydrogen or oxygen and their derivatives
3. Organic compounds are said to be more volatile and also highly inflammable These compounds are not inflammable and are non-volatile in nature
4. These compounds exist in the form of Solids, gases, and liquids. These exist as solids
5. These are insoluble in water These are soluble in water and also non-soluble in some of the organic solutions.
6. These compounds have the carbon-hydrogen bonds These does not have the carbon-hydrogen bonds
7. Organic compounds are mainly found in most of the living things These compounds are found in non-living things
8. Organic compounds form covalent bonds Inorganic compounds form ionic bonds between the atoms of molecules
9. In most of the aqueous solutions, these are poor conductors of heat and electricity In aqueous solutions, these are known to be good conductors of heat and electricity
10. Examples of organic compounds include fats, nucleic acids, sugars, enzymes, proteins, and hydrocarbon fuels The example for inorganic compounds includes non-metals, salts, metals, acids, bases, substances which are made from single elements
11. These have high melting and boiling points These have low melting and boiling points compared to organic compounds
12 These are biological and more complex in nature These are of mineral and not much complexity in nature
13 Organic compounds cannot make salts Inorganic compounds can make salts
14 The rate of reaction is slow in organic compounds Inorganic compounds have a high rate of reaction
