Main branches of chemistry

Organic chemistry vs Inorganic chemistry

 Organic chemistry studies on compounds of carbon (except CO2,


H2CO3. etc). This branch of chemistry was firstly presented
compounds in living organisms but has been broadened to include
human-made substances like plastics.

 Inorganic chemistry studies on elements other than carbon, and


their compounds. This branch covers all chemical
compounds except organic compounds.
10
Main branches of chemistry

What is analytical chemistry?

 Analytical chemistry provides methods and tools to investigate a


certain material to answer four basic questions about the material:
What?; Where?; How much?; What structure or form?

 Qualitative analysis gives the methods to test the presence of


chemical substances.
 Quantitative analysis gives the methods to accurately determine
amounts of different substances presenting in a sample.
11
Main branches of chemistry

 Physical chemistry studies the quantitative relations among the


properties of substances and their reactions.

 Biochemistry studies substances comprising living organisms.

 Radiochemistry studies radioactive elements and reactions of


their nuclei.

Groups

 Glassware includes test tubes, beakers, various flasks, watch


glasses, funnels, bottles, and cylinders

 Ovens, furnaces or kilns serve for generating high


temperatures.

 Porcelain consist of various kinds of dishes, basins and


crucibles of various diameters. A grinding mortar with a
pestle, desiccating dishes and stirrers are also generally
made of porcelain.

 Volumetric equitments: Flask, beaker, graduated cylinder,


burette, pipette, volumetric flask
