Organic Chemistry - the study of carbon and its compounds; the study of the chemistry of life.

Inorganic Chemistry - the study of compounds not-covered by organic chemistry; the study of
inorganic compounds or compounds which do not contain a C-H bond. Many inorganic compounds
Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them. This is also the
definition for physics, by the way. Chemistry and physics are specializations of physical science.
Chemistry tends to focus on the properties of substances and the interactions between different
types of matter, particularly reactions that involve electrons. Physics tends to focus more on the
nuclear part of the atom, as well as the subatomic realm. Really, they are two sides of the same
coin.
Analytical Chemistry - the study of the chemistry of matter and the development of tools used to
measure properties of matter.
Physical Chemistry - the branch of chemistry that applies physics to the study of chemistry.
Commonly this includes the applications of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics to chemistry.
Biohemistry - the study of chemical processes that occur inside of living organisms.

6. Theoretical chemistry - the use of mathematics and computers to understand the principles
behind observed chemical behavior and to design and predict the properties of new compounds.

*IMPORTANT OF CHEMISTRY IN DAILY LIFE*
Have you ever wondered about the importance of chemistry in everyday life? This is
a question you may ask yourself if you're taking chemistry. Otherwise, finding an
answer is one of the most common chemistry homework assignments. Here's a look
at why chemistry is important.
Answer: Chemistry is important in everyday life because...

1. Everything is made of chemicals. You are made of chemicals. So is your dog. So is your
desk. So is the sun. Drugs are chemicals. Food is made from chemicals.
2. Many of the changes you observe in the world around you are caused by chemical
reactions. Examples include changing colors of leaves, cooking food and getting clean.
3. Knowing some chemistry can help you make day to day decisions that affect your life. Can
I mix these household chemicals? What are safe mosquito repellents? Will my bottled
water expire?
