About the Department
Chemistry is broadly categorized into five main disciplines, each exploring the composition, structure, and behaviour of different types of matter:
Organic Chemistry: The study of carbon-containing compounds and their structures, properties, and reactions. It forms the basis for pharmaceuticals, plastics, and fuels.
Inorganic Chemistry: Focuses on the properties and behaviour of inorganic compounds, which typically do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. This includes metals, minerals, and organometallic compounds.
Physical Chemistry: Bridges chemistry and physics. It applies principles of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and kinetics to study how matter behaves at molecular and atomic levels.
Analytical Chemistry: Involves the qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances to determine their exact chemical composition and structure. It utilizes specialized equipment for forensic and environmental.
