Basic Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of elements (such as atoms, molecules, compounds, ions, and so on) and their chemical composition, properties, structure, and chemical reactions.

  • Chemistry is also concerned with the chemical interaction (bonding) of elements, atoms, and molecules. It investigates the causes and consequences of bonding.
  • Furthermore, chemistry is concerned with the energies emitted or absorbed by various molecules.
  • Chemistry is the science that studies the properties, content, and structure of substances (specified as elements and compounds), as well as the transformations they go through and the energy released or absorbed during these processes.
  • Chemistry is one of the most fundamental fields of science, involved with the in-depth investigation of matter, its properties, composition (chemical), and application.
  • Chemistry is further classified into the following groups based on the materials, processes, and system types under research.
  • Organic chemistry: Organic chemistry is the study of life’s chemistry and the reactions that occur in living organisms. It includes the study of organic processes in addition to the structure and characteristics of chemical molecules that are mainly made of carbon and hydrogen.
  • This discipline of chemistry is concerned with the in-depth study of the structure, characteristics, and synthesis of chemical substances having carbon and hydrogen along with minor/trace elements such as sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
  • Inorganic chemistry: The study of the characteristics and behavior of inorganic compounds such as metals, minerals, ceramics, crystal formations, catalysts, and the majority of elements in the Periodic Table is known as inorganic chemistry. It encompasses all ‘non-organic’ chemical substances found in nature. This branch is concerned with the in-depth investigation of the characteristics, production, and behavior of inorganic substances. The creation and behavior of inorganic or organometallic chemical compounds present in the earth’s crust and non-living materials are covered in this subject.
  • Physical chemistry: This discipline of chemistry studies the effect of chemical structure on the physical qualities of a substance, the rate of chemical reactions, the calculation of properties and structures, and the interaction of molecules with radiation. Quantum chemistry, photochemistry, spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, and surface chemistry are all subfields of physical chemistry.
  • Physical Chemistry is concerned with the ‘physical attributes’ of chemical compounds through the application of law and other physics concepts such as motion, energy, force, time, statistical mechanics, quantum chemistry, and thermodynamics.
  • Analytical chemistry: Analytical chemistry is the qualitative and quantitative examination of the chemistry of substances. It is a branch of chemistry that analyses, utilizes tools, and employs various procedures to separate, identify, and quantify materials. So, analytical chemistry is concerned with identifying and quantifying specific molecules.
  • Biochemistry: Biochemistry is the scientific investigation of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels using chemistry. In this field of chemistry of living cells, tissues, organs, and organisms is addressed. Its primary goal is to comprehend how biomolecules link to a specific process (metabolism) within a living cell. It seeks to understand the structures, functions, and interactions of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids to facilitate life.
