Within chemistry five of the groups of matter that are studied include inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry.

Each of these sub disciplines of chemistry involve a specialized approach to matter, studying its structure, properties and the changes that it undergoes during chemical reactions. These studies of matter contribute towards the full scope of the field of chemistry.

  • Inorganic chemistry
This is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of the behavior and properties of inorganic compounds. The discipline covers all chemical compounds apart from the myriad organic compounds. The latter are instead a part of organic chemistry.

  • Organic chemistry
Organic chemistry has an absolute distinction from inorganic chemistry. It is the study of the reactions, properties, structure, composition and preparation of carbon based compounds. These compounds will contain any number of other elements and are structurally diverse. They are the basis of a number of products including drugs, plastic and food.

  • Biochemistry
This is the study of the chemical processes that occur within living organisms. It governs all life processes and living organisms and helps to understand the complexity of life. This can be understood by looking at how the information flow is controlled by biochemical signaling and how the flow of chemical energy is controlled by metabolism.

  • Physical chemistry
This is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of macroscopic, subatomic, atomic and other particular phenomena in chemical systems. These studies are carried out in terms of physical laws and concepts.

  • Analytical chemistry
This is the separation, quantification and identification of the chemical components of natural and artificial materials. Within analytical chemistry, quantitative analysis determines the amount of one or more of these components while qualitative analysis gives an indication of the chemical species found within a sample.

There are many other things about matter that are studied within the field of science of chemistry.
