'''Chemistry''' (from the Egyptian '''kēme''', meaning "earth") is the study of structure, composition, and properties of matter, as well as the interactions of chemical elements and compounds. Along with [[physics]], chemistry is one of the physical sciences. Chemistry is the modern counterpart to [[alchemy]]. Chemistry be divided into several sub-branches, including:
* [[Organic chemistry]]- The study of chemical compounds consisting primarily of [[carbon]] and [[hydrogen]]
* [[Inorganic chemistry]]- The study of [[inorganic compounds]]
* [[Physical chemistry]]- The application of [[Physics]] to chemical compounds and systems
* [[Analytic chemistry]]- The study of chemical composition
* [[Biochemistry]]- The study of the chemical processes in cells
* [[Supramolecular chemistry]]- The study of non covalent bonding interactions between molecules
Famous chemists include:
* [[Michael Faraday]]
* [[Linus Pauling]]
* [[Alfred Nobel]]
