Which one I should choose between Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry? I am confused in that. What are the main differences? Which has more scope and opportunities? And, which would be bit difficult to study?

Difference between Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry:-

Organic Chemistry:-
The chemistry of organic compounds which are based on covalently bonded carbon atoms .


Inorganic Chemistry :-
This basically refers to the study of the chemical compounds that are not organic compounds.

Career scope and job opportunities is more in the field of organic chemistry for the candidates than Inorganic Chemistry.

But it is not so easy to complete this course.

The reason being it involves number of chemical mechanisms. You need to understand and logically and you should remember them .

Then only you can give good presentation in the final exams and can complete the course.

In organic chemistry, we study the compounds that contain carbon atoms in them while in inorganic chemistry, there are no carbon atoms in them.

Both organic and inorganic chemistry are crucial just because research and development in these chemistry is leading to discoveries and invention of vaccines, medicines, etc.

However, among organic and inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry has more scope. It has more job opportunities than inorganic chemistry.

In organic chemistry, you will have notice mostly carbon-hydrogen bonds. But in inorganic chemistry, you will notice different types of bonds including numerous exceptions. Thus, making it complex. So, definitely, organic chemistry would be bit easier for you to study.
