1. Intro To Chemistry
Branches of Chemisty

2. Intro To Chemistry: At the conclusion of our time together, you should be able to:
List the 6 branches of chemistry and be able to give an example of each
List the 3 types of research in chemistry

3. Branches of Chemistry Many major areas of study for specialization
Several career opportunities
Also used in many other jobs

4. Euphemisms in Science We all know that some politicians and government spokesmen use certain euphemistic phrases to give an aura of respectability to descriptions of events or actions which would be offensive when expressed in plain English. The following is a list of Euphemisms in Science and their translations into plain English.
“Accidentally stained during mounting...”
Accidentally dropped on the floor!

5. #1 Branch of Chemistry
Organic Chemistry – It is the scientific study of chemical compounds of carbon and hydrogen.

6. 1. Organic Chemistry
Organic chemists study the structure, function, synthesis, and identity of carbon compounds
Useful in petroleum industry, pharmaceuticals, polymers

7. #2 Branch of Chemistry
Inorganic Chemistry – deals with molecules which do not contain carbon.

8. 2. Inorganic Chemistry
Inorganic chemists study the structure, function, synthesis, and identity of non-carbon compounds
Polymers, Metallurgy

9. #3 Branch of Chemistry Physical Chemistry –
Study of the physical properties of chemical substances .
Typically studies changes in temperature, pressure, volume, heat, and work of systems in the solid, liquid, and or gas phase.

10. HONK if you passed p-chem
3. Physical Chemistry
HONK if you passed p-chem
Physical chemistry is the physics of chemistry… the forces of matter
Much of p-chem is computational
Develop theoretical ideas for new compounds

11. #4 Branch of Chemistry
Analytical Chemistry – the identification and analysis of material samples to gain an understanding of their chemical composition, structure and function.

12. 4. Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry is the study of high precision measurement
Find composition and identity of chemicals
Forensics, quality control, medical tests

13. IR (Infrared) Spectroscopy

14. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) Spectroscopy
Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C NMR) Spectroscopy

15. #5 Branch of Chemistry Biochemistry –
The study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in living organisms
Areas of biochemistry include cell metabolism, the endocrine system, the genetic code (DNA, RNA), protein synthesis, cell membrane transport, and signal transduction.

16. 5. Biochemistry Cross between biology and chemistry
Pharmaceuticals and genetics

17. Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)
Yeast with GFP
Yeast

18. #6 Branch of Chemistry
Theoretical Chemistry – the prediction of the properties of new compounds without using traditional laboratory equipment.

19. For Example: Ununseptium Atomic Number: 117
Atomic Weight: Approximately 294 amu
Melting Point: Higher than Astatine
Boiling Point: Higher than Astatine
Density: Higher than Astatine
Phase at Room Temperature: Expected to be a Solid
Element Classification: Non-metal
Should be Radioactive, Not Yet Produced
Period Number: 7
Group Number: 17
Group Name: Halogen
What's in a name? Will hold a temporary name that means one-one-seven.

20. 3 Types of Research Basic/pure – gain new knowledge; simple curiosity.
Applied – to meet the goals defined by a specific problem.
Technological – to improve human life.
