Sub-Specialities of CHEMISTRY

Chemistry has four major areas of interest and many sub-specialties.
1.  Organic Chemistry - The study of the element carbon and its compounds including living matter.
2.  Inorganic chemistry - The study of all other elements of non-living matter.
3.  Analytical chemistry - The study of " What is it?" or qualitative chemistry and "How much is there?"  which is quantitative chemistry.  Analytical chemistry is the analysis of compounds. 
4.  Physical Chemistry - The quantitative aspects of the physical properties of substances and their relationship to chemical structure and composition.
- - - - A few sub-specialties in chemistry are:
Biochemistry - The study of biologically active substances.
Polymer chemistry - The chemistry of long chained molecules.

Solid state chemistry - The behavior of solids.
Organometallic chemistry - The chemistry of compounds in which a metal is bonded in an organic compound.
