    Study Notes

    Branches of Chemistry

    • Chemistry is a science that studies the composition, structure, and properties of matter.
    • It examines the changes and transformations that matter undergoes.
    • Chemistry is divided into different branches to study diverse facets of matter.

    Organic Chemistry

    • Studies compounds containing carbon and their properties.
    • Some organic compounds contain other common elements like hydrogen.
    • Focuses on the origin and behavior of these carbon components.

    Inorganic Chemistry

    • Studies non-carbon compounds and their properties.
    • Focuses on elements other than carbon.
    • Supports the study of organic chemistry.

    Biochemistry

    • Studies the chemical processes and substances found in living organisms.
    • Focuses on the chemical composition of living things.

    Physical Chemistry

    • Studies the relationship between chemical properties and physical properties.
    • Performs experiments and uses analytical instruments to create theories and data.
    • Looks into the composition, structure, transformation of matter, and the energy changes during this process.

    Analytical Chemistry

    • Studies the identification, separation, and quantification of chemical substances.
    • Provides precise data for product testing, quality control, medical diagnostics, and many other applications.

    Biochemistry

    • Also studies the chemical composition of living organisms.

    Physical Chemistry

    • Studies chemical phenomena related to changes and properties of matter.
    • Focuses on the study of the properties of matter, their transformations, and related processes.
