Main Branches of Chemistry Analytical Chemistry – It is the study of the separation, identification, and quantification of the chemical components of natural and artificial materials It has qualitative analysis which is more on the physical properties and identity and quantitative analysis the measurement and amount of a certain substance. 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100

Main Branches of Chemistry Organic chemistry – Study of carbon containing substances Usually derived from or related to living organisms For historical reasons a few types of compounds such as carbonates, simple oxides of carbon and cyanides, as well as the allotropes of carbon, are considered inorganic. 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100

Main Branches of Chemistry Inorganic chemistry Is the branch of chemistry concerned with the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds This field covers all chemical compounds except the countless organic compounds. 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100

This includes earthly minerals, salts, inorganic acids and bases, and water. Substances that could be synthesized with the involvement of living organisms 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100

Main Branches of Chemistry Physical Chemistry Is the study of the physical and fundamental basis of chemical systems and processes This could range from physical properties, behavior and physics of matter 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100

It is more theoretical and it has more mathematics. The disciplines ranges from analytical chemistry, molecular chemistry, and quantum chemistry It is more theoretical and it has more mathematics. 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100

Main Branches of Chemistry Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry in biological processes of all living organisms There is an evident overlapping of different branches of chemistry but they are all observed in the systems of living things. 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100

Main Branches of Chemistry Nuclear Chemistry is the study of radioactive elements nuclear processes and nuclear properties. Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting ionizing particles or radiation. 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100

Main Branches of Chemistry Materials Chemistry Is the preparation, characterization, and understanding of substances with a useful function This is more of application of chemistry in different sciences, engineering and industry. 04/04/2019 Dr Seemal Jelani Chem-100
