Environmental Chemistry
It is a study of biochemical processes that occur in the natural environment. Environmental chemistry is a mixture of various subjects such as biology, maths, toxicology to find out the ways for sustainable development. Environment chemistry is an essential branch of chemistry because it deals with environmental functions.

Biochemistry
Known to be one of the most important branches of Chemistry, Biochemistry studies the biological structure, composition and chemical reactions at the cellular and molecular level. This covers a range of living organisms such as planta, insects, viruses, microorganisms, etc. Biochemistry is an amalgamation of Biology with Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. Various topics covered in this…

Analytical Chemistry
Analytical Chemistry is one of the quantitative branches of Chemistry that deals with the ‘identification, separation and quantification’ of chemical substances. The knowledge of Analytical Chemistry enables chemists and scientists to determine the amount of chemical substances in a given material. The subject has been further classified into the following two categories: Qualitative Analysis: It…

Physical Chemistry
Physical Chemistry covers the ‘physical properties’ of chemical compounds using law and various concepts of Physics, such as motion, energy, force, time, statistical mechanics, quantum chemistry and thermodynamics. This is one of the most exciting branches of Chemistry which allows students to understand the physical characteristics of chemical compounds like temperature, volume, pressure, conductivity, plasticity, strength, surface tension…

Inorganic Chemistry
Inorganic Chemistry studies the structure, properties and reactions of noncarbon chemical compounds or those that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. In other words, it is one of the branches of Chemistry which deals with chemicals that are ‘non-organic’ in nature. The subject includes the synthesis and behaviour of inorganic or organometallic chemical compounds found in…

Organic Chemistry
Organic Chemistry is one of the most important branches of chemistry that studies chemical compounds containing carbon elements combined with ‘carbon-hydrogen’ bonds (hydrocarbons). It is often known as the ‘Chemistry of Life’ that deals with the structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds. A study of Organic Chemistry helps students to identify and classify the…

Relationship b\w Chemistry and Other Branches of Science
‘Science’ can be defined as the systematic study of the natural universe, its structure, and everything it encompasses. Due to the immensity of the natural universe, science has been divided into several disciplines that deal with certain aspects of the universe. The three primary subcategories of science under which these disciplines can be grouped are:…
