I think #color(purple)"Carbon and Hydrogen"# are the only elements which are an example in both organic and inorganic chemistry.

Explanation:

Carbon and Hydrogen can be used in the formation of both organic and inorganic molecules.

For carbon,
Inorganic compound=
#color(red)(Cyanide=> CN^-)# or #color(blue)(Bicarbonate=>HCO_3^-)#

Organic compound=
#color(green)(CH_4)# or #color(purple)(C_2H_6)#

Hydrogen can also make # color(blue)"inorganic and organic compounds "#
Hydrogen forms an organic compound when bonded with only hydrogen and an inorganic compound when bonded with any other element.
