BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY

 


1.Physical chemistry:

Physical chemistry is defined as the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between the composition and physical properties of matter along with the changes in them.

 

2.Inorganic chemistry:

Inorganic chemistry deals with the study of all elements and their compounds except those of compounds of carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbons) and their derivatives.

 

3.Organic chemistry:

Organic chemistry is a field of study that focuses on covalent compounds consisting of carbon and hydrogen, known as hydrocarbons, and their derivatives.

 

4.Polymer chemistry: 

Building Blocks of Materials SciencePolymer chemistry is a field of study that deals with polymers, which are large molecules made up of small repeating units called monomers. The process of linking monomers together to form a molecule of high molecular mass is called polymerization.

 

 

5.Biochemistry:

Biochemistry is the branch of science that combines both biology and chemistry to understand and analyze life processes. It focuses on the chemical substances and reactions that occur within living organisms.

 

6.Medicinal chemistry:  

The Art of Drug Design Medicinal chemistry is a field where chemists design and build molecules that act as medicines. They modify existing molecules or create new ones to fight diseases, improve health, and prevent illnesses.

 

7.. Analytical chemistry: 

Analytical chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of the composition of matter.

 

8. Environmental chemistry: 

Environmental chemistry studies the chemical and biochemical processes in the natural environment like air, water, and soil

 

9. Geochemistry: Solving earth chemical mysteries:

chemical composition of the Earth, including its rocks and beyond our minerals. It also extends planet to encompass the entire Solar System.

 

10. Nuclear chemistry: 

Nuclear Chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with radioactivity, nuclear processes, and properties.

 

11. Astrochemistry:

Astrochemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of molecules in space and their reactions. Astro chemists examine the composition of celestial objects (heavenly bodies)
