CHEMISTRY
Organic chemistry
Inorganic chemistry
Physical chemistry
Biochemistry
Analytical
chemistry
 1.ORGANIC
CHEMISTRY
Organic chemistry
is the study of
most carbon based
compounds
usually oxygen,
nitrogen and
hydrogen.
 2.INORGANIC
CHEMISTRY
Inorganic chemistry deals
with the synthesis and
behavior of inorganic and
organometallic compounds
which covers all fields
except the myriad organic
compounds.
3.PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
Physical chemistry is the study
of macroscopic, atomic,
subatomic, and particulate
phenomena in chemical systems
in terms of the principles,
practices and concepts of
physics such as motion, energy,
force, time, thermodynamics,
quantum chemistry, statistical
mechanics, analytical dynamics
and chemical equilibrium.
4.BIOCHEMISTRY
Biochemistry is a
branch of medical
science that seeks to
describe the structure,
organization and
functions of living
matter in molecular
terms
 5.ANALYTICAL
CHEMISTRY
Analytical chemistry
is a branch of science
that deals with the
study of instruments
and methods used to
separate, identify, and
quantify matter.
