Why Hammond's postulate is obeyed in organic chemistry and not in inorganic chemistry?

Why shouldn't it be obeyed in iorganic chemistry, as stated in your question. It is quite general for reactions with intermediates and does not exclude inorganic substances.
However, the Hammond's principle is now generally considered obsolete. So, why bother anyhow?
(The principle was generally accepted until the 1970s when too many exceptions started to appear.)

Which is better organic chemistry or inorganic chemistry?
Organic Chemistry is probably easier, but in inorganic chemistry you will learn more. So academically speaking Inorganic Chemistry
What are the five major branches of chemistry?
there are five branches: inorganic, organic, analytical, physical, and biochemistry. they could be further broken down into sub-branches such as organometallic chemistry, physical organic chemistry, electroanalytical chemistry, and so on and so forth.
What are the 4 classical divisions of Chemistry?
analytical, inorganic, organic and physical are the four types of chemistry
How is organic chemistry distinquished from inorganic chemistry?
Organic chemistry focuses on carbon-based molecular chemistry. Inorganic is everything else. Since organic molecules form the basis for life on our planet, their chemistry is of particular interest and many principles developed in organic chemistry may still be applied to inorganic chemistry.
Characterize the properties which represent organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon. Inorganic chemistry is everything else, but usually covers metallic complexes.
What are two fields of chemistry?
Organic chemistry and Inorganic chemistry
What atom differentiates inorganic chemistry from organic chemistry?
Carbon: there is carbon present when it is organic chemistry.
The study of chemicals containing carbon is traditionally contain what type of chemistry?
Inorganic chemistry. (A few compounds that DO contain carbon are part of inorganic chemistry too.)
What are the other relevant field of chemistry?
Examples: inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, radiochemistry, biochemistry, electrochemistry, etc.
Physical chemistry Biochemistry Analytical chemistry Inorganic chemistry The study of all the substances not included in organic chemistry is called?
Inorganic chemistry.
What does inorganic branch of chemistry study?
If organic chemistry study the chemistry of carbon compounds the inorganic chemistry stydy the remaining part.
Are carbon compounds in organic chemistry inorganic chemistry biochemistry?
The majority of carbon compounds are studied by organic chemistry.
