inorganic v organic bases

[Ava_Osborn_3I]

What is the difference between inorganic and organic bases?

also do we need to be able to tell the difference for the final

[Joanna_Sung_3F]

There are many differences between the two, but for me the easiest trick is that organic bases will have carbon atoms and inorganic bases will not have carbon atoms. I do not believe it will be a main topic on the final based on the learning outcomes in the syallbus, but it is probably good to know them!

Something I remember him saying from lecture is that a common example of an organic base is anything with a Nitrogen that is an electron donor, meaning it has a lone pair.
