Chemistry is the study of the basic atomic building-blocks of nature and how they combine to form the solids, liquids, and gases that make up most forms of matter. For the many different chemical elements and compounds, see:
- The Periodic table
- Inorganic chemistry, including solid state chemistry, which studies the basic principles that are applied in mineralogy and materials science
- Organic chemistry, which underlies biochemistry and polymer chemistry
- Physical chemistry, which includes computational chemistry, quantum chemistry and surface chemistry
- Analytical chemistry, the basis of environmental chemistry
For some basic concepts see:
