BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY
2
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
3
ORGANIC Known as carbon chemistry Food chemistry Fossil Fuels
4
INORGANIC Involves all elements Metals/Materials chemistry Chemical Reactions
5
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.)
6
BIOCHEMISTRY “Living” Chemistry; Environmental Medical research Proteins, Amino Acids, DNA, food
7
ANALYTICAL Identifies, Evaluates, Compares Uses instruments to find answers Basis of Chemical Research
8
THEORECTICAL Prediction Chemistry Uses mathematics & models Chemistry foundations
9
Environmental
10
Some of these branches seem to connect to other branches. Can we draw the best TREE (macroscopic) that illustrates the connection between the chemistry branches (microscopic)? CHEMISTRY INORGANICORGANIC BIOCHEMISTRY ANALYTICAL PHYSICAL THEORECTICAL Your treemap: Fill out smaller sub-branches on this tree with products, machines, or materials that will fit into each category. stove Car soda Aspirin
