2. Sciences used to be divided into strict categories
physical (nonliving)
biological (living)
Chemistry has parts that fall under both categories
many sciences are so interrelated that you can’t categorize them in those ways anymore.

3. Chemistry study of matter and the changes it undergoes
chemists use instruments to improve their ability to observe and make measurements

4. Chemistry
chemists work with chemicals (any substance with definite composition)
all matter has chemical basis whether it is living or nonliving

5. Branches of Chemistry organic- study of compounds containing carbon
inorganic- study of compounds that aren’t organic
physical- study of changes of matter and their energy

6. Branches of Chemistry analytical- study of composition of materials
biochemistry- study of substances and processes in living things
theoretical- use of math and computers to understand chemical behaviors and design new compounds

7. Types of Research Basic Research- done to increase knowledge
Applied Research- done to solve a problem
Technological Development- done to improve quality of life
technology – application of knowledge (usually scientific) for practical purposes
