BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY

Chemistry is… a type of science that includes the knowledge of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes it undergoes ~6 branches of chemistry

ORGANIC Known as carbon chemistry Food chemistry Fossil Fuels

INORGANIC Involves all elements Metals/Materials chemistry Chemical Reactions

PHYSICAL Reaction kinetics Exothermic, Heating/Freezing Nuclear chemistry Involves matter and energy Plasticity, of copper under a spherical nanoindenter. ( All particles in ideal lattice positions are omitted and the color code refers to the stress field.)

BIOCHEMISTRY “Living” Chemistry; Environmental Medical research Proteins, Amino Acids, DNA, food

ANALYTICAL Identifies, Evaluates, Compares Uses instruments to find answers Basis of Chemical Research

THEORECTICAL Prediction Chemistry Uses mathematics & models Chemistry foundations

 Environmental
