Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the science in which chemistry is applied to the study of living organisms and the atoms and molecules which comprise living organisms. Take a closer look at what biochemistry is and why the science is important. What Is Biochemistry? Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living things. This includes organic molecules…

Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry is the chemistry discipline that studies the chemical composition of materials and develops the tools used to examine chemical compositions. It involves wet lab chemistry as well as use of instrumentation. Analytical chemistry is important in science, engineering, medicine, and industry. Analytical chemistry makes use of standards and error analysis. Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis Qualitative analysis characterizes…

The Difference Between Organic and Inorganic
The word “organic” means something very different in chemistry than it does when you’re talking about produce and food. Organic compounds and inorganic compounds form the basis of chemistry. The primary difference between organic vs. inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always contain carbon while most inorganic compounds do not contain carbon. Also, nearly all organic compounds contain…

Organic Chemistry Introduction
What is organic chemistry?Organic chemistry is the study of carbon and the chemistry of life. Since not all carbon reactions are organic, another way of looking at organic chemistry would be to consider it as molecules containing carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds and their reactions. Why is organic chemistry important?Organic chemistry is important because it is the…

Physical Chemistry
This Physical Chemistry textbook addressed the study of macroscopic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibria. In contrast to chemical physics, physical chemistry is predominantly (but not always) a macroscopic…
