They are not made from living things.
Explanation: Inorganic compounds are typically substances derived from nonliving sources and generally do not contain the carbon–hydrogen frameworks that define organic chemistry. The other statements are false: inorganic compounds are made of atoms, they do not necessarily contain carbon (and many don’t; some carbon-containing exceptions like CO2 or carbonates are still classed as inorganic), and they are not elements (they are compounds).
