Question 2
Inorganic compounds are typically those not containing carbon - hydrogen (C - H) bonds (except some like carbonates, cyanides etc.). $\ce{NaF}$ is a salt (ionic compound) with no C - H bonds. $\ce{H2O}$ is a simple molecule without C - H bonds. $\ce{CH4}$ and $\ce{CH3}$ (a radical, but still has C - H) are organic - related as they have C - H bonds. So $\ce{NaF}$ and $\ce{H2O}$ are inorganic.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is the organization that sets the rules for chemical nomenclature. WATOC focuses on theoretical and computational chemistry, RSC and ACS are chemical societies but not the main body for nomenclature rules.
