Chemistry 

Physical & Computational Chemistry

Chemistry deals with the changes which matter undergoes by the interaction of its various forms and in a broad sense studies the structure of matter by analysis and synthesis. Physics on the other hand, is concerned with the general properties of matter. (Kinetic, thermal, electrical, etc.) And with process in which matter suffers no chemical change. Physical Chemistry embraces both of the above problems viz., structure and properties of matter and provides a common ground between the two sister’s sciences. Besides physical chemistry endeavors to penetrate more deeply into the structure of atoms and molecules and their different states of aggregation. It also studies the physical characteristics of chemical reactions with respect to electrical, thermal, kinetic, photo-chemical and such other properties.

It also provides the basis of modern methods of analysis, the determination of structure, and the elucidation of the manner in which chemical reactions occur. To do all this, it draws on two of the great foundations of modern physical science, thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
