Study Notes
Overview of Chemistry Branches
- Pharmacology studies drug action and its interactions within the body.
- Organometallic Chemistry examines compounds containing bonds between carbon and a metal.
- Polymer Chemistry focuses on the chemistry of polymers.
- Physical Organic Chemistry investigates the relationship between molecular structure and reactivity.
- Stereochemistry studies the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules and their impact on properties.
Inorganic Chemistry
- Inorganic Chemistry encompasses the study of inorganic compounds, excluding organic compounds.
- Examines crystal structures, minerals, metals, catalysts, and Periodic Table elements.
- Bioinorganic Chemistry studies metal ions' interactions with biological systems.
- Geochemistry analyzes the chemical composition and changes in Earth's materials.
- Nuclear Chemistry deals with radioactive substances.
- Solid-State Chemistry investigates the synthesis and properties of solid materials.
Analytical Chemistry
- Involves qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical components.
- Forensic Chemistry is applied in crime investigations using chemical principles.
- Environmental Chemistry examines chemical phenomena in the environment, covering atmospheric, aquatic, and soil chemistry.
- Bioanalytical Chemistry assesses biological materials for specific drug detection.
Physical Chemistry
- Studies the impact of chemical structure on physical properties.
- Encompasses reaction rates, molecular interactions with radiation, and properties calculations.
- Photochemistry analyzes chemical changes due to light exposure.
- Surface Chemistry focuses on reactions occurring at substance surfaces, including adsorption and catalysis.
- Chemical Kinetics investigates reaction rates and mechanisms.
- Quantum Chemistry describes subatomic particle interactions through mathematical relations.
- Spectroscopy utilizes electromagnetic radiation to analyze matter and processes.
Biochemistry
- Examines chemical reactions in living organisms.
- Investigates areas like cancer research, infectious diseases, and cell biology.
- Chemical properties are observable only during alterations of substances.
Physical and Chemical Changes
- Physical Changes: No bonds are broken or formed; the identity and composition of substances remain constant. Examples include melting, freezing, and stirring mixtures.
- Chemical Changes: Bonds are broken or formed, resulting in new substances with distinct properties. Examples include combustion and chemical reactions between gases.
- Physical changes are often reversible (like melting ice), while chemical changes are typically harder to reverse, indicating a transformation into a different substance.
Properties of Changes
- Examples of physical properties include density and melting point, which do not change during physical transformations.
- A chemical property example is iron corroding in moist air, showcasing a change that indicates a chemical reaction.
