Branches of Chemistry

The document discusses the six main branches of chemistry: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and theoretical chemistry. Each branch is defined briefly, with organic chemistry involving carbon compounds, inorganic chemistry involving all elements, physical chemistry involving matter and energy, biochemistry involving living systems, analytical chemistry using instruments to obtain answers, and theoretical chemistry using mathematics and models. The document asks to draw a tree diagram showing the connections between the branches of chemistry.
