Chemistry
Branch of science that deals with the qualities of both pure elements and chemical compounds and the natural laws that describe their actions.
Chemistry is a huge science, midway between physics and biology in therms of the order of things. Its various areas of specialised study include natural, synthetic, inorganic, organic, biochemistry, chemical engineering, molecular, quantum mechanical, and the very important science of nanochemistry. Topics dealt with include different types of chemical bonds; phase changes in matter; equilibirum and non-equilibrium thermodynamics; combustion; chemical reaction rates and equilibrium; the chemical analysis and structure of substances, and the sudy, synthesis and analysis of acids, salts, enzymes, polymers, organic compounds, metals, pseudometals, nano-composites or any other natural or created substance. All chemistry related phenomena are defined by the laws of physics, for example chemical equilibrium.
