History... IIn 1770,Swedish chemist Torberm Bergman was the first to express the difference between "organic"and "inorganic"substances Organic---- derived from living organism Originally,Study of compounds extracted from living organisms and their natural products INORGANIC CHEMICALS were found primarily in the earth as mineral deposits,but could also be prepared by man
