Branches of chemistry part 3

Hello readers! 

We have already discussed main branches of chemistry. Today we will discuss further. 

Agro Chemistry:

It examines chemical processes important to agriculture. It includes pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and seed treatment. 

Forensic Chemistry:

It can be defined as practice of application of our knowledge in field of chemistry to solve crimes. Most common methods used are spectroscopy and chromatography. 

Astro Chemistry:

It is the study of chemical reaction in space. This discipline is an overlap of chemistry and astronomy. 

Coordination Chemistry:

It is the study of coordination complexes, consists of central metal atoms mostly and surrounded by ligands. 

Medicinal Chemistry:

It is the intersection of chemistry especially synthetic organic chemistry. Medicinal chemistry designs, synthesized and studies drugs and other therapeutic agents. 

Geo Chemistry:

The study of chemical composition of rocks, minerals, atmosphere of Earth and other planetary bodies. 

Organo metallic Chemistry:

It is the bridge between organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry. It is the study of compounds containing chemical bond between carbon and metals. 

Petrochemistry:

Petrochemistry is the branch of organic chemistry focusing on petroleum and natural gas processing and refining. It deals with the transformation of crude oil and natural gas into products and raw materials.

Phytochemistry:

Phytochemistry is the study of chemicals derived from plants.

Polymer Chemistry:

Polymer chemistry is the sub-discipline of organic chemistry concerned with the chemistry of plastics and polymers.

Nuclear Chemistry:

Nuclear chemistry studies atoms and chemical reactions at the nuclear level. It includes the chemical study of fission, fusion, and radioactive decay.

Surface Chemistry:

Surface chemistry examines chemical processes on the surfaces of materials. It is the study of the chemical phenomenon that occur at the interface of two surfaces which can be solid-liquid, solid-gas, solid-vaccum, liquid-gas etc.       

Stereo Chemistry:

Stereochemistry studies the spatial arrangement of atoms within molecules.

Solid State Chemistry:

Solid-state chemistry examines reactions and properties of matter in the solid state phase.

Spectroscopy:

Spectroscopy is the study of the interactions between light and matter.

Radio Chemistry:

Radiochemistry studies radioisotopes and uses radioactive materials to study chemical reactions.

Thermo Chemistry:

Thermochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry dealing with heat in chemical systems.

Quantum Chemistry:

Quantum chemistry applies quantum mechanics and mathematics to describe the motion and interaction of subatomic particles in atoms and molecules.


Chemistry is a vast field of science. I have tried to cover each and every concept. I hope this will be helpful for you all. 

Thanks for your love.

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...

Matter

Hello everyone!  How are you all? I hope you all will be fine and having fun. Previously we have discussed many fields of chemistry. Chemistry is actually a very vast branch of science. I'm trying my very best to discuss each and every concept. Today my topic is "MATTER ". We are all familiar with matter. The definition of Matter is anything that has some mass and volume and occupies some space. It is fairly simple to demonstrate that they have mass and take up space.   All physical objects are made of matter. Matter itself is composed of tiny building blocks known as "atoms". There are only 118 different types of atoms known to man. Frequently, atoms are bonded together to form "molecules". Matter can be classified into different categories based on the physical properties exhibited by them and the states in which they exist; these are called states of matter. Following are the basic three states of matter: Solid: In solids, particles are tightly or c...

Mole

 A mole is defined as the amount(mass) of a substance that contains  6.022 × 10²³ number of particles (atoms, molecules or formula units). It establishes a link between mass of a substance and number of particles as shown in summary of molar calculations. •It is abbreviated as 'mol'. Mass of a substance is either one of the following: atomic mass, molecular mass or formula mass. These masses are expressed in atomic mass units (amu). But when these masses are expressed in grams, they are called as molar masses.  •Scientists have agreed that Avogadro's number of particles are present in one molar mass of a substance. Thus, quantitative definition of mole is the atomic mass, molecular mass or formula mass of a substance expressed in grams is called mole. For example: Atomic mass of carbon expressed as 12 g = 1 mol of carbon Molecular mass of H2O expressed as 18 g = 1 mol of water Molecular mass of H2SO4 expressed as 98 g = 1 mol of H2SO4 Formula mass of NaCl expressed as 58....
