BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY Chemistry is… a type of science that includes the knowledge of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes it undergoes ~6 branches of chemistry Known as carbon chemistry ORGANIC Food chemistry Fossil Fuels Involves all elements INORGANIC Metals/Materials chemistry Chemical Reactions Plasticity, of copper under a spherical nanoindenter. (All particles in ideal lattice positions are omitted and the color code refers to the stress field.) PHYSICAL Involves matter and energy Reaction kinetics Exothermic, Heating/Freezing Nuclear chemistry “Living” Chemistry; Environmental BIOCHEMISTRY Proteins, Amino Acids, DNA, food Medical research Identifies, Evaluates, Compares Uses instruments to find answers ANALYTICAL Basis of Chemical Research Prediction Chemistry THEORECTICAL Uses mathematics & models Chemistry foundations Environmental Some of these branches seem to connect to other branches. Can we draw the best TREE (macroscopic) that illustrates the connection between the chemistry branches (microscopic)?
