The Branches of Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
• This is the study of most carbon compounds.
• We also look at hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen with the carbon.
• Plastics, petroleum compounds and pharmaceuticals are organic compounds.
Inorganic Chemistry
• This is the chemistry of all non-organic compounds.
• Inorganic compounds include such things as common salts, metals, and semiconductors.
Physical Chemistry
• This is the study of the properties and changes of matter.
• It is also the study of the relationship of energy to the properties of matter.
Analytical Chemistry
• This is the identification of the components of matter.
• This is also where instruments and techniques are developed to identify matter.
• MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) developed from analytical techniques.
Biochemistry
• This is the study of the chemistry of living organisms.
• Biochemists look at DNA, RNA, proteins, and other chemicals produced by cells and viruses.
Theoretical Chemistry
• This field uses mathematical models to understand the nature of chemical reactions.
• Theoretical chemists predict the properties of new chemicals and “design” molecules to meet the needs of other chemists.
• None of these branches are isolated from the other branches.
• Chemists within one branch work with others to reach the desired goal.
• Let’s look at how some of these relationships work.
