Chemistry

Presented by: Abigail Atiwag

Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter. It is a fundamental science that plays a crucial role in understanding the natural world, developing new materials and technologies, and addressing global challenges in areas such as energy, health, and the environment. Here are key topics in chemistry:

General Chemistry

Chemical bonding : Ionic bonding, covalent bonding, metallic bonding, Lewis structures, molecular geometry, bond polarity, and intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding).

General Chemistry

Stoichiometry : Chemical equations, balancing equations, mole concept, stoichiometric calculations, limiting reactants, and percent yield.

Physical Chemistry

Kinetics : Reaction rates, rate laws, activation energy, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, enzyme kinetics, and factors affecting reaction rates (temperature, concentration, catalysts).

Physical Chemistry

Quantum chemistry : Quantum mechanics, atomic orbitals, quantum numbers, wave-particle duality, Schrödinger equation, molecular orbitals, electronic structure, and spectroscopic techniques.

Organic Chemistry

Reaction mechanisms : Organic reactions (substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation, reduction), reaction intermediates, reaction pathways, stereochemistry, and organic synthesis.

Organic Chemistry

Biochemistry : Biomolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids), enzymes, metabolic pathways (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, photosynthesis), bioenergetics, and biochemical techniques (chromatography, electrophoresis, PCR).

Inorganic Chemistry

Coordination chemistry : Coordination compounds, ligands,

coordination numbers, crystal field theory, spectrochemical

series, chelation, and coordination isomerism.

Inorganic Chemistry

Main group chemistry : Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals,

halogens, noble gases, metalloids, and properties of main

group elements and their compounds.

Analytical Chemistry

Quantitative analysis : Gravimetric analysis, volumetric analysis (titrations), calibration curves, standard solutions, analytical methods validation, and quality control in analytical chemistry.

Environmental Chemistry

E nvironmental pollutants : Air pollutants (CO2, NOx, SOx, VOCs), water pollutants (heavy metals, pesticides, nutrients), soil contaminants, greenhouse gases, ozone depletion, and pollution monitoring.

Materials Chemistry

Materials synthesis : Polymers, ceramics, metals, nanomaterials, composite materials, semiconductors, superconductors, and materials fabrication techniques.

Materials Chemistry

Materials properties : Mechanical properties, thermal properties, electrical properties, optical properties, magnetic properties, and materials characterization methods.
