1.ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Organic chemistry is the study of most carbon based compounds usually oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen.
2.INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Inorganic chemistry deals with the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds which covers all fields except the myriad organic compounds.
Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, 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 equilibrium.
