Branches of chemistry Part 2

 Hello! 

Previously we have discussed five main fields of chemistry. Today we will discuss other disciplines of chemistry. 

Industrial Chemistry:

The branch which deals with the manufacturing of chemical compounds on commercial scales is called industrial chemistry. It deals with the manufacturing of various raw materials for various industries such as fertilizer, soap, textile, agriculture product, paints and paper etc. 

Environmental Chemistry:

It is the branch which deals with the study of components of environment and effects of human activities on the environment. The knowledge of chemical process taking place in environment is necessary for its improvement and protection against pollution. 

Nuclear Chemistry:

It is the branch of chemistry which deals with the radioactivity, nuclear processes and properties. It's main concern is with atomic energy and it's uses in daily life. It also has vast applications in medical treatment, preservation of food and generation of electrical power through nuclear reactors etc. 

There are many other fields of chemistry that we will discuss next.

Cycles of Matter

 Very much connected with environmental chemistry, cycles of matter, often based on elemental cycles, are of utmost importance in the environment. Global geochemical cycles can be regarded from the viewpoint of various reservoirs, such as oceans, sediments, and the atmosphere, connected by conduits through which matter moves continuously among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geo- sphere, biosphere, and, increasingly, the anthrosphere. The movement of a specific kind of matter between two particular reservoirs may be reversible or irreversible. The fluxes of movement for particular kinds of matter vary greatly as do the contents of such matter in a specified reservoir. Most cycles of matter have a strong biotic component, especially through the biochemical processesof plants and microorganisms. The cycles in which organisms participate are called biogeochemical cycles, which describe the circulation of matter, particularly plant and animal nutrients, through ecosystems. Most biogeoche...

Nitrogen Cycle

 Nitrogen occurs prominently in all the spheres of the environment. The atmosphere is 78% elemental nitrogen, N2, by volume and comprises an inexhaustible reservoir of this essential element. Nitrogen, although constituting much less of biomass than carbon or oxygenoxygen, is an essential constituent of proteins. The N2 molecule is very stable so that breaking it down into atoms that can be incorporated with inorganic and organic chemical forms of nitrogen is the limit- ing step in the nitrogen cycle. This does occur by highly energetic processes in lightning discharges that produce nitrogen oxides. Elemental nitrogen is also incorporated into chemically bound forms. or fixed by biochemical processes mediated by microorganisms. The biological nitrogen is mineral- ized to the inorganic form during the decay of biomass. Large quantities of nitrogen are fixed synthetically under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions according to the following over- all reaction:     ...

Introduction

 Hello everyone! I hope you all will be fine. Myself Maheen. And I'm masters in CHEMISTRY. Chemistry is not only a subject for me but it's passion for me. It's really interesting for me to study this subject. Some people take it difficult but I think it's not difficult. Actually they are not made to study chemistry. If you love a field it becomes easy for you. By the way if you keep in touch with me I will tell you a lot about my subject, my experience.
