What does /sci/ think about inorganic chemistry as a field?

Cooler and more interesting than organic, but it ain't were the big bucks are i think.

You forgot to say "pic unrelated" because she is clearly an organic chemist.

Lots of metals and lots of cube structures.

This. Really cool, but you're better off with analytical chemistry as a career if you're not doing research.

>>9131213
Depends. Inorganic chemistry is good for catalysts for all sorts of things and coatings for batteries or solar for the time being. Organic (pi conjugated) and inorganic can do the same things but with different properties and pros and cons.

Organic is better for money because it's all natural hippie bullshit. People don't want to use unnatural chemicals, heavy metals, etc. so companies are sticking with organic chemists and ditching the inorganic dudes. Also organic is cheaper since like the chemicals come from plants and animals. They're like extracts of natural things. Inorganic is cool but hippies killed it. Sorry, brah, that's just how it is.

Are you alright?

Just venting, brah. It's just you know like I like the old style where lead and other metals were cool and people weren't afraid of radiation. There were all kinds of pipes and dangerous hot liquids under pressure. Now a modern chemical plant is literally a farm with transgenic plants and some reactors to extract some organic compound. Or it's some vats of pond scum with fertilizer or a fucking brewery. I miss when chemistry was about pressure vessels, holding tanks, valves, leachate fields, etc. and the lab was filled with heavy metal compounds that worked good but we can't use anymore because of the the environment. Inorganic is cool, too. It's not all about organic. Stupid hippies ruining everything again

I don't think you have ever been in academic lab or in industry.

>>9131452
well i think he did. Damn hippies. never the less, veggies get 1/3rd of its energy from ATP and most chem plants won't go further than 31% of termic efficience(carnot), so i call it a tie.
Inorganic is still more rad

>>9131203
just be careful around inorganic, inorganic volatiles are some of the most toxic compounds

>>9131385
inorganic has tons of interlap with materials chemistry, which is on the rise right now. Hippies didn't kill shit, fuck your oversaturated field you faggot.
