| − | '''Chemistry''' is the study of the interactions of chemical elements and compounds. Along with [[physics]], chemistry is one of the physical sciences. Chemistry can generally be divided into [[organic chemistry]], which explains the interactions of carbon based compounds, and [[inorganic chemistry]] which deals with other chemical reactions. There are other sub-branches of chemistry including: | + | '''Chemistry''' is the study of the interactions of chemical elements and compounds.
