Question

what are branches of chemistry

Answer 1

biochemistry Physical, Analytical, Organic ,inorganic chemistry.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemistry generally has 5 branches these are organic, inorganic , analytical, physical and bio-chemistry and these branches are further also divided

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Organic chemistry involves the study of the structure, properties, and preparation of chemical compounds that consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen.

Organic chemistry overlaps with many areas including

• Medicinal chemistry
• Organometallic chemistry
• Polymer chemistry
• Physical organic chemistry
• Stereochemistry

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Inorganic chemistry is the study of the properties and behaviour of inorganic compounds.

It covers all chemical compounds except organic compounds.

Inorganic chemists study things such as crystal structures, minerals, metals, catalysts, and most elements in the Periodic Table.

Branches of inorganic chemistry include:

• Bioinorganic chemistry
• Geochemistry
• Nuclear chemistry
• Organometallic chemistry
• Solid-state chemistry

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

Analytical chemistry involves the qualitative and quantitative determination of the chemical components of substances.

Examples of areas using analytical chemistry include:

• Forensic chemistry
• Environmental chemistry
• Bio-analytical Chemistry

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY

Physical Chemistry —the study of the effect of chemical structure on the physical properties of a substance.

Physical chemists typically study the rate of a chemical reaction, the interaction of molecules with radiation, and the calculation of structures and properties.

Sub-branches of physical chemistry include:

• Photochemistry.
• Surface chemistry
• Chemical kinetics
• Quantum chemistry

Spectroscopy

Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions that take place in living things. It tries to explain them in chemical terms.

Biochemical research includes cancer and stem cell biology, infectious disease, and cell membrane and structural biology.

It spans molecular biology, genetics, biochemical pharmacology, clinical biochemistry, and agricultural biochemistry.

• Molecular biology
• Genetics
• Pharmacology
• o Toxicology —a sub-branch of pharmacology
• Agricultural biochemistry

These are the main 5 branches of chemistry and there are many sub-branches.
