...
The physical sciences focus mainly on nonliving things
...
Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter, the processes that matter undergoes, and
the energy changes that accompany these processes
...
Instruments make it
possible, for example, to look at microstructures
...
Branches of Chemistry
Chemistry includes many different branches, of study
...

...
Inorganic chemistry—the study of non-organic substances, many of which have organic fragments bonded to
metals (organometallics)
...
Physical chemistry—the study of the properties and changes of matter and their relation to energy
...
Analytical chemistry—the identification of the components and composition of materials

...
A chemical is any substance that has a definite composition
...
Chance discoveries can be the result of basic research
...
In applied research, researchers are driven not by curiosity
