Element 

is a pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom distinguished by its atomic number, which is

the number of protons in its nucleus. Common examples of elements
are iron, copper, silver, gold, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. In total, 118 elements have been observed as
of March 2010, of which 92 occur naturally on Earth

 Compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements[1][2][3] that can be

separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions. Chemical compounds have a unique and defined chemical
structure; they consist of a fixed ratio of atoms that are held together in a defined spatial arrangement by chemical
bonds.

Inorganic compounds are considered to be of a mineral, not biological origin. Complementarily, most organic
compounds are traditionally viewed as being of biological origin. Over the past century, the precise classification of
inorganic Vs organic compounds has become less important to scientists, primarily because the majority of known
compounds are synthetic and not of natural origin.

Organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For

historical reasons discussed below, a few types of carbon-containing compounds such as carbonates,
simple oxides of carbon and cyanides, as well as the allotropes of carbon such as diamond and graphite, are
considered inorganic. The distinction between "organic" and "inorganic" carbon compounds, while "useful in
organizing the vast subject of chemistry... is somewhat arbitrary".

Difference between Organic and inorganic compounds

Organic compounds are result from the activity of living beings, whereas inorganic compounds are either the result of
natural processes unrelated to any life form or the result of human experimentation in the laboratory.
