Physical chemistry is the study of molecules and reactions that do not involve the special field of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Another name for physical chemistry is '''[[inorganic chemistry]]'''. It tends to concern more insights of [[physics]] and less of the spatial aspects of [[organic chemistry]].

'''Physical chemistry''' is a branch of [[chemistry]] that focuses on the [[physics]] behind chemical systems, at both a macroscopic and microscopic level. This includes the study of intermolecular [[force]]s and surface chemistry, chemical [[thermodynamics]], [[chemical reaction|reaction]] kinetics, [[quantum]] theory, and [[nuclear]] chemistry.

 

Often students who are good in [[organic chemistry]] will struggle in physical chemistry, and vice-versa. <ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/Inorganic_chemistry</ref>
