1. Branches of Chemistry

2. There are 5 main branches of Chemistry
Inorganic---The chemistry of molecules and compounds that contain very little hydrocarbons and no hydrocarbon radicals
Organic---The study of carbon and it’s compounds
Analytical---The study of chemistry of matter and the development of tools used to measure properties of matter
Physical Chemistry---applies physics to the study of chemistry, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, nuclear chem
Biochemistry--- The study of the chemical processes that occur inside of living organisms

3. Each of the main branches have sub branches
