Main branches Of Chemistry
inorganic chemistry
Inorganic chemistry is the study of the properties and reactions of all chemical elements except for organic compounds
example:carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, cyanides
subbranches:
the study of the remaining subset of compounds other than organic compounds
examples:water, carbon dioxide and silver
sub braches
nuclear chemistry:dealing with radioactivity, nuclear processes, and transformations in the nuclei of atoms
geochemistry:the study of the chemical composition of the earth and its rocks and minerals.
thermal chemistry: a random or internal Kinetic Energy, due to the random motion of molecules in a system.
analytical chemistry
is the science that obtains information about the structure of matter.
Examples: blood exams and environmental analysis
Sub Branches:
The qualitative Analysis: this method deals with the determination of a quality of a substance
Quantitative Analysis:it’s a method to determine the absolute or relative quantity regarding the concentration of one or more substances
sub branches
Qualitative analysis:
The determination of the identity of chemical species present in a sample
Quantitative analysis:
An examination to determine how much of a particular species is present in a sample
Gravimetric analysis:
the process of isolating and weighting an element or a compound of the element in as pure form as possible.
Volumetric analysis:
the analysis in which we measure the volume of a reagent reacting stoichiometrically with the analyze.
Biochemistry
what is Biochemistry? it is both the investigation of life science and chemical science
what is the importance of Biochemistry?
The chemical processes which transform diet into compounds that are characteristics of the cells of a particular species.
The catalytic functions of enzymes.
Utilizing the potential energy obtained from the oxidation of foodstuff consumed for the various energy-requiring processes of the living cell.
The properties and structure of substances that constitute the framework of tissues and cells.
To solve fundamental problems in medicine and biology.
Sub Branches
Cell Biology:Cell Biology deals with the structure and functions of cells in living organisms. It is also called as Cytology. Cell biology primarily focuses on the study of cells of the eukaryotic organisms
example:many living things consist of vast numbers of cells working in concert with one another.
Metabolism:Metabolism is one of the most important processes taking place in all the living things. It is nothing but the transformations or the series of activities that happens that when food is converted into energy in a human body.
example: process of digestion.
Molecular Biology
It is also referred to as the roots of Biochemistry. It deals with the study of functions of the living systems. This field of biology explains about all the interactions between the DNA, proteins, RNA and their synthesis.
example:magnetic polarity
Genetics
Genetics is a branch of biochemistry that deals with the study of genes, their variations and the heredity characteristics in living organisms.
example:there is human genetics, mouse genetics, fruit fly genetics, etc.
example:
The study of cell metabolism
Organic Chemistry
what is organic chemistry?Organic chemistry is the study of life and all of the chemical reactions related to life.
Sub
Branches
Physical Organic Chemistry
a discipline of organic chemistry that focuses on the relationship between chemical structures and reactivity.
Medical Chemistry
this sub branch is to identify the importance behind the effects in medicine or drugs.
Stereochemistry
the branch of chemistry concerned with the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms and molecules and the effect of this on chemical reactions.
Organometallic Chemistry
the study of organometallic compounds, contains at least one chemical bond between a carbon atom of an organic molecule and a metal.
Polymer Chemistry
the study of synthesis and how the properties of polymer molecules are organized and how they change with specific chemical, biological, and physical properties.
example:Examples include gasoline, plastics, detergents, dyes, food additives, natural gas, and medicines.
physical chemistry
Sub Branches
thermochemistry:the study of the heat energy which is associated with chemical reactions and/or physical transformations.
photochemistry:the branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical effects of light.
electrochemistry:the study of chemical processes that cause electrons to move.
is the part of chemistry where it is concerned on what techniques are used
examples: freezing, boiling, and melting.
