\In`or*gan"ic\, a. [Pref. in- not + organic: cf. F.
inorganique.]
Not organic; without the organs necessary for life; devoid of
an organized structure; unorganized; lifeness; inanimate; as,
all chemical compounds are inorganic substances.
Note: The term inorganic is used to denote any one the large
      series of substances (as minerals, metals, etc.), which
      are not directly connected with vital processes, either
      in origin or nature, and which are broadly and
      relatively contrasted with organic subscances. See
      {Organic}.
