The science which scrutinizes substance is named chemistry. It was born out of alchemy, an old science that sought, among other things, to create the elixir of life and do gold of iron. The primary purpose of the today's chemists is to scrutinize the reactions that are happening on the atomic level and get known more about the processes happen between various substances. The other purpose of that modern science is to find the laws that can describe the relations and phenomena in chemical reactions. That may assist to create the needed matters synthetically. Chemistry interacts very closely with biology and physics.
That science is divided into inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry and lots of other more narrow spheres.
The name of organic chemistry was created because chemists believed that the organic elements have the connection to the life. It was a wrong thought. As it turned out, lots of organic elements are not related to any living objects of life processes. Simultaneously, many inorganic elements are necessary to life, for example copper or iron.
Organic chemistry promotes the analysis of substances that are made of carbon and hydrogen. Thanks to it year by year the humanity get known more and more about it and this knowledge is very helpful. Organic compounds are widely used in a lot of products, including plastics, foods, drugs, etc.
The section of chemistry which studies the mixes of both organic and inorganic components is named analytical chemistry. It studies geometric features of atoms, composition and other characteristics. It also executes the studies to define the combination and characteristics of given components. Analytical and physical chemistry are quite similar, due to they study the same reactions but gain some various data from them. It is founded on the experiments and the results are very useful for providing the safety of the environmental and saving the natural resources.
