Analytical Chemistry 2.1
Chemistry is the study of matter, including its composition, its structure, its physical properties,
and its reactivity. Although there are many ways to study chemistry, traditionally we divide it into ve areas: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry. is division is historical and, perhaps, arbitrary, as suggested by current interest in interdisciplinary areas, such as bioanalytical chemistry and organometallic chemistry. Nevertheless, these ve areas remain the simplest division that spans the discipline of chemistry. Each of these traditional areas of chemistry brings a unique perspective to how a chemist makes sense of the diverse array of elements, ions, and molecules (both small and large) that
make up our physical environment. An undergraduate chemistry course, therefore, is much more than a collection of facts; it is
