3. What Is Chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of
matter, its properties, how and why substances
combine or separate to form other substances, and
how substances interact with energy.
The structure and behavior of atoms (elements)
The composition and properties of compounds
The reactions between substances with their
accompanying energy exchange
The laws that unite these phenomena into a
comprehensive system.
5. Organic Chemistry-
Organic chemistry involves the
study of the structure ,properties and preparation of
chemical compounds that consist primarily of carbon and
hydrogen.
Branches of inorganic chemistry include:
• Medicinal chemistry —
• Organometallic chemistry —
• Polymer chemistry
• Physical organic chemistry —
• Stereochemistry —
6. Inorganic Chemistry-
Inorganic chemistry is the study
of the properties and behaviour of inorganic compounds.
Branches of inorganic chemistry include:
•Bioinorganic chemistry —
•Geochemistry —
•Nuclear chemistry —
•Organometallic chemistry —
•Solid-state chemistry —
7. 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 —
Bioanalytical Chemistry —.
8. 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.

9. Biochemistry
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
