Chemistry Flashcards
The study of composition,
structure, and properties of
matter, the changes which
matter undergoes as well as
the laws and principles
governing this changes.
Chemistry
Study of carbon-containing substances
Carbon and hydrogen compounds –
hydrocarbon.
Organic substances - proteins, carbohydrates, fats,
petroleum and coal, animal meat, dairy products, fruits,
and vegetable
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Chemical
product used
in agriculture
Insecticides,
herbicides,
and
fungicides.
Agrochemical – agrichemical
Study of substances that do not
have carbon as its elemental
components.
Applications: catalysts,
pigments, coatings, surfactants,
medicines, fuels, and more
INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
• Substance that
speeds up a
chemical reaction,
or lowers the
temperature or
pressure needed
to start one
• It is not consumed
during the
reaction
CATALYSTS
Water-and oil-insoluble
natural and synthetic
products that impart color
to materials such as paper
and plastics.
Pigments
Water- soluble
colorants
Dyes
Studies the structure, energy, and
transformation of substances from
one state of matter to another.
Applications: materials science;
pharmaceutical industry;
environmental science; energy
sector; nanotechnology
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
• Study of chemical processes of and
relating to living organisms.
- processes that occurs in tissues, organs
and the whole living organism.
Application:
• field of medicine - disease processes and to
find cures
• agriculture - discover ways to improve crop
cultivation, storage and pest control.
BIOCHEMISTRY
biochemical changes and
related physiological
alteration in the body
during infection / disease.
• Symptoms described by
the patient - a clue on the
biochemical changes and
the associated disorders.
Biochemistry
• Deals with methods to identify and
measure physical properties of substances.
a. Qualitative test – color reactions, odor,
reactivity but do not determine its amounts.
b. Quantitative test – employ instrumentation
methods to determine components,
concentrations, purities of substances.
Applications: forensics, medicine, science &
engineering
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
• Forensic Chemistry is the
application
of chemistry and its sub-
field, forensic toxicology, in
a legal setting.
• A forensic chemist can
assist in the identification
of unknown materials
found at a crime scene.
Forensic Chemistry
• Medicine is
the field of
health and
healing.
• It aims to
promote and
maintain health
and well being.
Medical Science
– specializations
aligned with STEM
Strand
Involves inventions,
discoveries, innovations,
structural
improvements,
information technology
devices and other
aspects of the vast world
we live in.
SCIENCE &
ENGINEERING
Is involved in both
the natural world and the man-
made world. It’s the link between
all of the physical and life
sciences. That’s why it’s called
“the central science”.
Chemestry
improve health care system from
new drugs and patient-care products
• Examples: antipyretics, analgesics,
antibiotics, antibacterial drugs,
anticancer drugs, vaccines
Medicine and Pharmaceuticals
from anti- ‘against’ and pyretic
(‘feverish’) is a substance that reduces fever.
Example: ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen,
aspirin, acetaminophen,
antipyretic
are medicines that are used to relieve pain
without putting you to sleep. They are also known as
painkillers or pain relievers.
Example: Tylenol
Analgesics
an analgesic and antipyretic drug and a
common painkiller used to treat aches and pain. It can
also be used to reduce high temperature.
Example: Biogesic
Paracetamol
