Chemistry

Chemistry studies the properties of matter, its composition, and the changes it undergoes. The field explores a wide variety of topics from the very small, such as quantum chemistry, to the very large, such as elements and molecules found in stars and planets. Branches of chemistry include biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, environmental chemistry, chromatography, spectroscopy, industrial and applied chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, electrochemistry, and surface and colloid chemistry.
