compounds 
made up of two or more elements and can be broken down into simpler substances
ionic bonding 
bond between metals and non-metals (electron giving)
covalent bonding 
bond between non metals only (electron sharing)
inorganic substances 
substances that are located everywhere
inorganic substances 
do not contain CH bonds
inorganic substances 
examples: ionic compounds, water
organic substances 
substances that contain carbon and other elements (CHONPS) with covalent bonds
