What are the 6 branches of chemistry and what do they study?

Hi there!

The 6 branches of chemistry are Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Nuclear Chemistry.

Organic Chemistry: The branch of chemistry dedicated to carbon compounds and substances.

Inorganic Chemistry: The branch of chemistry dedicated to non-carbon compounds and substances.

Analytical Chemistry: The branch of chemistry dedicated to identifying and quantifying matter through a variety of different instruments, tools, and practices.

Physical Chemistry: The branch of chemistry dedicated to analysis of chemical phenomena as well as their different behavior and phenomena.

Biochemistry: The branch of chemistry dedicated to the chemical processes such as cellular respiration that occur within living organisms.

Nuclear chemistry: The branch of chemistry dedicated to nuclear processes and properties as well radioactivity.

Organic Chemistry - The study of most carbon containing compounds.

Inorganic Chemistry - The study of non-organic substances, many of which have organic fragments bonded with metals.

Physical Chemistry - The study of the properties and changes of matter and their relation to energy.

Analytical Chemistry - The intensification of the components and composition of materials.

Biochemistry - The study of substances and processes occurring in living things.

Theoretical Chemistry - The use of math and computers to understand the principles being observed and chemical behavior.
