Chemistry is so important because it has to do with everything in our daily lives. Chemistry just makes us understand how everything works a little better.
Things that we wouldn't have if we didn't have chemistry are medications, soaps, cleaning products, synthetics and vitamins. these are just a few things that chemistry brought us.
15 BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY
(Abadicio, 1997); (Myers,2003)
- Photo-chemistry- a branch of chemistry concerned with the interaction between light and matter.
- Nuclear Chemistry- a branch of chemistry associated with nuclear reactions and isotopes.
- Medicinal Chemistry- chemistry as it applies to pharmacology and medicine.
- Green Chemistry- concerned with the processes and products that eliminate or reduce the use or release of hazardous substances.
- Geochemistry- study of the chemical composition and chemical processes associated with the earth and other planets.
- Combinatorial Chemistry- is the chemistry associated with soil, air and water and of the human impact on natural systems.
- Cluster Chemistry- involves the study of the cluster of branched atoms, intermediate in size between single molecule and bulk solids.
- Astrochemistry- study of of composition and reaction to the chemical elements and molecules founding the stars and in the space and of the interactions between this matter and radiation.
- Agrochemistry- deals with application of the chemistry for agricultural production, food processing and environmental remediation.
- Theoretical Chemistry- the use of mathematics and computers to understand the principles behind observed chemical behavior and to design and predict the properties of compounds.
- Biochemistry- specializes in the study of substances and processes occurring in living things.
- Analytical Chemistry- the identification, separation and quantitative determination of the components of different molecules.
- Physical Chemistry- the study of the structure of matter, energy, changes and the laws, principles and theories that govern the transformation of matter and their relations.
- Inorganic Chemistry- the study of all substances not classified as organic, mainly those compounds that do not contain carbon.
- Organic Chemistry- deals with the reaction of the study of most carbon-containing compounds.
