What are the main topics in chemistry taught at university?
A. The classical division of chemistry into 4-5 basic branches still exists in the curriculum. Chemistry majors, as well as students in the above-related subjects, study general and analytical chemistry, then physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. These subjects are taught at different levels and combinations according to the needs of the “customer” students. Thus, medical students are given more background in the bioorganic aspects of chemistry, while environmental engineering students are taught more analytical and physical chemistry. Q. What are the major research fields in chemistry? A. Chemistry, as mentioned above, is the science of materials. The chemists are the only ones trained to break and form chemical bonds. The chemists are the only people who can create new chemicals, new materials from different starting materials, and thus create new materials with new properties – this is the most important aspect of chemistry. Therefore, the rese
