Organic Chemistry
This branch focuses on the structure, properties, reactions, and synthesis of carbon-based compounds. Students explore reaction mechanisms, functional groups, stereochemistry, and organic synthesis. The course also delves into biomolecules and the chemistry of pharmaceuticals, laying a foundation for careers in drug design, biotechnology, and chemical research.
Inorganic Chemistry
Inorganic Chemistry deals with the study of elements and inorganic compounds, including coordination compounds, transition metals, crystal structures, and periodic properties. Students gain a deep understanding of bonding theories, acid-base behavior, and reactivity trends, which are essential for fields like materials science, metallurgy, and environmental chemistry.
Physical Chemistry
This area bridges physics and chemistry by examining the physical principles underlying chemical systems. Topics include thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, quantum chemistry, and spectroscopy. Students develop a quantitative understanding of molecular behavior and chemical equilibria, equipping them to analyze and predict the outcomes of chemical processes.
Analytical Techniques
This subject introduces the methods used to identify, separate, and quantify chemical substances. Students learn about classical and modern techniques such as titrations, chromatography, spectroscopy (UV-Vis, IR, NMR), and mass spectrometry. These skills are crucial in research, quality control, forensic analysis, and environmental monitoring.
