Organic chemistry
* branch of chemistry that deals with covalent bonded carbon only.
* defines life.
* driving force in their development.
* encompasses study of all carbon-hydrogen compounds.
* focuses on carbon-containing compounds and mixtures.
* fundamentals as they relate to industrial processes.
* has rules for naming compounds with substituent groups.
* involves the study of hydrocarbons.
* is at the core of the modern chemical industry as well as the areas listed above
  - basically the study of carbon compounds
* is concerned with carbon compounds
  - the compounds of carbon
  - discussed in terms of modern theory
  - largely memorization
  - more a way of thinking than a bunch of facts to be memorized
  - much more than equations
  - part of science
  - the branch which deals with the study of the compunds of carbon
* is the chemistry of carbon compounds
  - drugs, plastics, foods, and clothing
  - foundation for the pharmaceutical, fuels, and plastics industries
* is the study of all carbon compounds found on the planet
  - carbon-based molecules
  - compounds containing carbon
  - hydrocabons and related compounds
  - long chains and rings of carbon atoms
  - molecules containing carbon
* is the study of the chemistry of carbon compounds
  - covalent compounds based on the elements carbon and hydrogen
  - used to develop and manufacture everything from plastics to life-saving drugs
* is very difficult
  - interrelated
* linear subject, meaning new material is usually built on older material.
* living, active science.
* science based on the study of A. vital forces interacting with matter
  - a. functional groups
* studies compounds.
* takes time and practice.
* three dimensional science.
* touches nearly every facet of our lives, from plastics to pharmaceuticals.
+ Inorganic chemistry: Chemistry
  * Inorganic chemistry can be defined simply as all chemistry which is not organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is basically the study of carbon compounds. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but this definition covers most cases.
+ Substituent: Organic chemistry :: Chemical nomenclature
  * Organic chemistry has rules for naming compounds with substituent groups. The substituent group is listed first with a suffix to describe how it is attached to the main carbon chain. When naming hydrocarbons that contain a substituent, position numbers may be used. These number will indicate which carbon atom the substituent is attached to. One case where this information is needed is that of isomers.

Organometallic chemistry
* combines aspects of inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry.
* has both an historical and a current importance in our research.
* is one of the most active areas of modern chemical research.
+ Category:Organometallic chemistry: Chemistry

Photochemistry
* is chemistry
  - the study of chemical reactions produced by light
* plays a key role in the structure and evolution of the haze.

Polymer chemistry
* blend of physical and organic chemistry.
* is mainly the study and synthesis of large, complex molecules.

Qualitative chemistry
* is used in many jobs.
+ Qualitative analysis: Analytical chemistry
  * Qualitative analysis' is a field of analytical chemistry. It uses chemical reactions to find out what an unknown chemical element is. Qualitative chemistry is used in many jobs. It is very useful for testing for drugs and poisons.
