UNIT 1 : CHEMISTRY AND ITS BRANCHES
Chemistry is the science of substances - of their structure, their properties, and the reactions that
change them into other substances.
The study of chemistry may be divided into the following branches:
- General chemistry, which is an introduction to the entire science.
- Qualitative analysis, giving the methods of testing for the presence of chemical substances.
- Quantitative analysis, giving the methods of accurate determination of the amounts of different
substances present in a sample of material.
- Inorganic chemistry, which is the chemistry of elements other than carbon, and their compounds.
- Organic chemistry, which is the chemistry of the compounds of carbon.
- Physical chemistry, which studies the quantitative relations among the properties of substances and
their reactions.
- Biochemistry, which is the chemistry of the substances comprising living organisms.
- Structural chemistry, which deals with the molecular structure and its relation to the properties of
substances.
- Radiochemistry, which is the chemistry of radioactive elements and of reactions involving the
nuclei of atoms.
- Industrial chemistry, which is concerned with industrial processes.
Although chemistry is a very large and complex subject, which still continues to grow as new
elements are discovered or made, new compounds are synthesized, and new principles are formulated.
The chemists or chemical engineers need to have some knowledge of all its branches, even if he may be
specialized in a particular line.
Chemistry science cannot do without physics and mathematics, and is also closely linked to some
other sciences, e.g. inorganic chemistry is linked closely to geology, mineralogy, and metallurgy, while
organic chemistry is linked to biology in general.
