Study Notes

Introduction to Chemistry

Matter occupies space and has mass; it is fundamental to the study of chemistry.
Chemistry examines the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, facilitating the transformation of substances.
Example of a chemical compound: Methane (CH₄).

Organic Compounds

Origin of the term "organic" relates to living organisms such as plants and animals.
Initially, organic compounds were defined by their origin but were later identified by the presence of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H).
Organic compounds often include other elements, like oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I).
Definition: Carbon-containing compounds, excluding carbonates and bicarbonates, are classified as organic compounds.

Branches of Chemistry

Organic Chemistry:
- Focuses on the study of organic compounds, excluding carbonates and bicarbonates.
- Exploration includes their occurrence, preparation methods, properties, and applications.
Inorganic Chemistry:
- Concentrates on compounds that do not contain carbon.
- Involves the study of all inorganic substances, encompassing minerals and metals.
Physical Chemistry:
- Analyzes laws, theories, concepts, and the structure of matter.
- Integrates principles of physics with chemical processes to understand interactions and energy changes.
Biochemistry:
- Investigates chemical reactions occurring during biological processes.
- Important for understanding metabolism, enzyme function, and cellular activity.
Analytical Chemistry:
- Focuses on methods for separation, identification, and quantitative analysis of substances.
- Essential for quality control, environmental monitoring, and laboratory research.
