INORGANIC CHEMISTRY IN BRIEF

Inorganic Chemistry deals study of INORGANIC substances ,so we should learn about INORGANIC substances firstly.
  • INORGANIC=IN+ORGANIC i.e. which is not organic ,hence instead of Organic compounds ,rest are Inorganic in entire universe.for example ;ammonia,calcium carbonate,sodium chloride etc.These figures are for Ammonia,Calcium carbonate and Sodium chloride respectively-

BRIREF INTRODUCTION OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

  • ORGANIC CHEMISTRY is a specific branch where we study about study about nature ,composition ,type of bonding and others related to organic substances.
  • Please come ,first of all we will discuss about the concept of Organic substances- according to ancient concept all type of matters in which carbon is present as a major component are named Organic substances.
  • But as we know carbon is also present in carbon dioxide so it should be also an organic compound but it occurs as an inorganic compound. fig:Carbon di oxide

  • Hence according to new concept of Organic compound-matters which possesses carbon and hydrogen as major component are named Organic.now as we know in case of carbon dioxide ,only carbon is present and hydrogen is absent so automatically it will be inorganic but METHANE is an Organic compound because both carbon and hydrogen are present.Now i understand ,we are able to justify the compounds which will be Organic and which will be Inorganic.(fig:Methane)
  • Generally the source of organic compounds are LIVING ORGANISM.
  • However in bicarbonate ion, carbon and hydrogen are present but these are subject to INORGANIC .

PURE CHEMISTRY is also classified in four sub classes -
1.Organic chemistry
2.Inorganic chemistry
3.Physical chemistry
4. Analytical chemistry

APPLIED CHEMISTRY is also possesed many sub classes -
1.Pharmaceutical chemistry
2.Polymer chemistry

3.Biochemistry
4.Nuclear chemistry
5.surface chemistry etc.
(fig:Polymer)

CHEMISTRY :AN INTRODUCTION




  1. THE WORD CHEMISTRY IS DERIVED FROM A GREEK WORD "CHEMEA "i.e.BLACK,HENCE CHEMISTRY WAS ONLY THE STUDY OF BLACK SUBSTANCES ANCIENTLY.
  2. YOU WILL SURPRISE TO KNOW , IN THAT TI"CHEMETECHING" WAS TERM.
  3. LAVOISIER is regarded as "FATHER OF MODERN CHEMISTRY"(photo of Lavoisier is added ).
  4. He told ,chemistry is not only the study of black substance but all type of substances .
  5. According to latest concept ,we can classify entire chemisty in two class-PURE AND APPLIED CHEMISTRY
