What is chemistry? CHEMISTRY is the study of matter- its
composition, structure, properties, transformation from one form to
another, and the energy that accompanies its transformation.
BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY 1: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: It is concerned
with the study of most carbon- based compounds.
Slide 6
BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY 2: INORGANIC CHEMISTRY: It deals with all
substances which are not considered to organic, which may contain
any of over 100 elements (including carbon).
Slide 7
BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY 3: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY: It deals with the

systems.
Slide 8
BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY 4: BIOCHEMISTRY: It concerned with the
chemistry of life processes and living organisms.
Slide 9
BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY 5: ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY: It concerned
mainly with the various techniques and laboratory methods to
determine the composition of matter.
