| C. | Organic Chemistry | III. | Study of properties of all elements and compounds. |
| D. | Physical Chemistry | IV. | Study of processes about reactions within living systems. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II
The branches of chemistry are named by what each one studies.
(A) Inorganic Chemistry — this matches (III) Study of properties of all elements and compounds. It covers the elements and their compounds other than the compounds of carbon, such as metals, minerals, acids and salts.
(B) Biochemistry — this matches (IV) Study of processes about reactions within living systems. It studies the chemical processes in living things, such as digestion, respiration and the work of enzymes.
(C) Organic Chemistry — this matches (I) Deals with carbon and its compounds in all aspects. It is the chemistry of carbon compounds, such as hydrocarbons, alcohols and proteins.
(D) Physical Chemistry — this matches (II) Theoretical mechanical aspects of chemical reactions. It applies the laws of physics to chemistry: energy changes, rates of reactions, equilibrium and the structure of atoms.
