Answer to Problem 2LC

Traditional areas of chemistry are:

  1. Organic chemistry
  2. Inorganic chemistry
  3. Physical chemistry
  4. Analytical chemistry
  5. Biochemistry

Explanation of Solution

Since all living things and nonliving things are formed of matter, chemistry has an impact on all aspects of existence as well as most natural occurrences. Because it is essential to understanding other sciences, chemistry is frequently referred to as the central science. So, the area of chemistry is very vast, so it is divided into five major areas:

  1. Organic chemistry
  2. Physical chemistry
  3. Inorganic chemistry
  4. Analytical chemistry
  5. Biochemistry

Organic chemistry: Organic chemistry is the area of chemistry that deals with carbon-based compounds.

Physical chemistry: The branch of chemistry known as physical chemistry studies the mechanism, pace, and energy transfer that take place during a reaction.

Inorganic chemistry: The study of the synthesis of chemical compounds, which do not involve compounds having carbon-hydrogen bonds, is called inorganic chemistry.

Analytical chemistry: To separate, distinguish, and quantify materials, analytical chemistry investigates and employs tools and procedures.

Biochemistry: The area of chemistry that deals with the chemicals, substances, and physico-chemical reactions that take place inside living things.
