i want to know if an organic or inorganic chemists would be more likely involved into this:

1) increasing yields of the fertilisers ammonium nitrate
2) developing new biodegradable plastic bags
3) developing new alloys for formula 1 cars

Organic chemists work with carbon molecules like methane, etc.  Which one of those three items in your list contain carbon molecules?

[Tin Man]

Could go either way. If we're going to cut things down a LOT, the word "bio" indicates organic, or carbon-containing molecules.

Not to say that organic chemists don't work with inorganic chemicals and vice-versa. I'm sure that most people who have gone through general chemistry have a lot of experience with, say, acetic acid, an organic molecule.
