What are the different types of chemistry?

Answer 1

• Organic Chemistry: deals with compounds containing carbon (which is pretty much everything living)
• Inorganic Chemistry: deals with noncarbon compounds and non-living matter.
• Physical: deals with the relations between the physical properties of substances and their chemical formations along with their changes.
• Biochemistry: deals with the composition and changes in the formation of living species.
• Analytical: deals mostly with the composition of substances.
• Pharmaceutical: chemistry behind pharmaceutical preparations.
• Theoretical: usually closely related to physical; has to do with the prediction of chemical properties based on theoretical principals.
• Polymer: study of, well, polymers (often synthetic, but sometimes biopolymers also).

There's considerable overlap between many of these: it's certainly possible to be a physical organic chemist, or a theoretical biochemist, or an analytical polymer chemist, to name just a few combinations based on people I actually know.

It's also possible to specialize even further and work exclusively with, say, compounds containing a particular element (other than carbon) such as boron or a group of closely related elements like the lanthanides, or to specialize in a particular subdivision of analytical and/or physical chemistry such as spectroscopy. This makes an exhaustive list essentially impossible, because someone will always manage to find a new niche.

Answer 2

There are several branches of chemistry, including organic chemistry (study of carbon compounds), inorganic chemistry (study of non-carbon compounds), physical chemistry (study of the physical properties and behavior of chemicals), analytical chemistry (study of the identification and composition of substances), and biochemistry (study of chemical processes in living organisms).

Answer 3

An Oxidation Reaction.

It may also be a redox reaction.

Answer 4

In chemistry a combustion reaction is a chemical reaction (also called a chemical change) that involves something combining with oxygen (O2).

Answer 5

The different types of combustion are complete, incomplete, smoldering, rapid, turbulent, and micro combustion.

Answer 6

Combustion Reaction is a reaction in which a substance 'A' reacts with oxygen(O2) to form carbon dioxide(CO2), hydrogen(H2O) and Heat.

A + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + Heat

Answer 7

It is oxidation - and hence REDOX
