On overview

BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY

REMEMEMBER..

Chemistry is known as a central science It connects most sciences to another because of its holistic approach Has many branches that studies vast and varying fields.

THEORETICAL
BIOCHEMISTRY INORGANIC

MAIN BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY

CHEMISTRY

ORGANIC
PHYSICAL ANALYTICAL

INORGANIC

Study of the reactions and properties of all the chemical compounds that DO NOT contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Focuses on INORGANIC compounds

COMMON INORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Calcium carbonate Chalk

Sodium Baking Soda Bicarbonate

Hydrochloric Muriatic acid acid

ORGANIC

Study of the reactions and properties of all the chemical compounds that contains carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Just as there are millions of different types of living organisms on this planet, there are millions of different ORGANIC compounds as well.

ANALYTICAL

Study of the chemistry of matter and the development of tools used to measure properties of matter.

Quantitative rather than qualitative. Chemistry + Mathematics

Analytical Chemistry makes use of highly accurate measuring equipment such as an ANALYTICAL BALANCE

An analytical balance is so sensitive that it can even measure the weight of dust on it!

PHYSICAL

Study of properties and changes of matter and their relation to energy. Commonly this includes the applications of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics to chemistry. Chemistry + Physics

BIOCHEMISTRY

Study of substances and processes occurring in living things. Studies more on the structure and properties of life molecules such as PROTEINS, LIPIDS, ENZYMES, CARBOHYDRATES and NUCLEIC ACIDS Chemistry + Biology

THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY

Deals with the study of the use of mathematics and computers to understand principles behind observed chemical behavior Predict and design the properties of new science Chemistry+ Mathematics + Logic

OTHER MINOR BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY

Chemical Engineering - Chemical engineering involves the practical application of chemistry to solve problems.

Electrochemistry - Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that involves the study of chemical reactions in a solution at the interface between an ionic conductor and an electrical conductor.

Food Chemistry - branch of chemistry associated with the chemical processes of all aspects of food. Environmental Chemistry - chemistry associated with soil, air, and water and of human impact on natural systems. Green Chemistry - concerned with processes and products that eliminate or reduce the use or release of hazardous substances

Kinetics - examines the rate at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that affect the rate of chemical processes.

Nuclear Chemistry - branch of chemistry associated with nuclear reactions and isotopes.
