Inorganic chemical reagents are substances in which two or more chemical elements, typically other than carbon, are combined in definite proportions. These reagents are mostly inorganic compounds or small organic molecules used in various fields such as analytical chemistry, where they can serve as color indicators. They are distinct from organic compounds, which are carbon-based and often include carbon-hydrogen bonds. Inorganic reagents are utilized in research and industry, including medicine and agriculture, where they can be used in conjunction with catalysts like copper and reagents like oxygen to synthesize valuable chemicals.
