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.

Atom

 Hello!  How are you all? Today our topic is Atom.  We all heard about atom.  The smallest particle of an element is called atom. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. Anything that takes up space and anything with mass is made of atom.  An atom is a particular of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consist of a central nucleus that is surrounded by one or more relatively heavy particles known as proton and neutron.    This was the short introduction of atom. Next we will discuss structure of atom.  Structure of Atom: The total mass of an atom, including the protons, neutrons and electrons, is the atomic mass or atomic weight. The atomic mass or weight is measured in atomic mass units. Electrons contribute only a tiny part to the mass of the atomic structure, however, they play an important role in the chemical reactions that create molecules. The atomic weight can be thought of as the number of protons plus the numbe...

Atomic number and mass number

 Hello My dear Readers!  Hopefully you all are fine and also doing experiments in your life. Let's start our today's topic. Today we will discuss atomic number and mass number.  Atomic number: The number of protons present in the nucleus of its atom is called atomic number. Atomic number is represented by 'Z'. All the atoms of an element have same number of protons in their nuclei so thay have same atomic number. Each individual element has specific atomic number that is called identification number. For example hydrogen have 1 proton so it's atomic number is Z=1. In oxygen all atoms have 8 protons, have atomic number Z=8 .  Mass number: It is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom. It is represented by 'A'.  It is calculated as:         A=Z+n Where n is number of neutrons.  For example: hydrogen atom has on proton and no neutron in its nucleus, its mass number A = 1 + 0 = 1 . Carbon atom h...

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...
