Inorganic Chemistry

Introducing the Division

(Anorganik Kimya, periyodik çizelgeyi oluşturan 118 elementin tümünün özelliklerinin, kimyasal yapı ve davranışlarının araştırılmasını kapsayan bir kimya bilim alanı olup; diğer disiplinlerin çalişma alanlarında da önemli payı vardır. Anorganik endüstriyel üretim prosesleri, malzeme bilimi, katalizörler, yarı iletken ve süper iletkenler, toprak-tarım, tıp, çevre bilimleri, inşaat, maden-metalürji, nanoteknoloji gibi pek çok alanda Anorganik Kimya etkin olarak yararlanılan bir temel kimya bilimidir.)

Inorganic Chemistry is a field of chemistry that covers the properties, chemical structure and behavior of all 118 elements of the periodic table and takes an important part in the studies in other disciplines. Inorganic Chemistry is a basic chemistry science efficiently utilized in many fields such as inorganic industrial production processes, materials science, catalysts, semiconductor and superconductors, soil-agriculture, medicine, environmental sciences, construction, mine-metallurgy, nanotechnology.

Biochemistry

Introducing the Division

(Biyokimya amacı canlılarda görev alan kimyasal bileşikleri tanımak, özelliklerini ve etkileşimlerini incelemek olan bir kimya dalıdır. Biyoloji ve kimyanın temel bilimlerinin çalışma alanı olan biyokimya, günümüzde, başta tıp olmak üzere, veterinerlik, eczacılık, diş hekimliği, ziraat, gıda teknolojisi ve hatta mühendislik gibi uygulamalı sahalarda da müracaat edilen, uygulama imkânı bulan bir bilim dalı haline gelmiştir.)

Biochemistry is a chemistry division of which aim is to recognize chemical compounds involved in living organisms, their properties and interactions. Biochemistry, which is a field of study of the basic sciences of biology and chemistry, is now a science which has applied in applied fields such as medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, agriculture, food technology and even engineering.

Organic Chemistry

Introducing the Division

(Organik kimya, sadece hidrokarbonları değil, aynı zamanda hidrojen (çoğu bileşik en az bir karbon-hidrojen bağı içerir), azot, oksijen, halojenler, fosfor, silikon ve kükürt de dahil olmak üzere diger  elementleride içeren bileşiklerin yapısını, özelliklerini, bileşimini, reaksiyonlarını ve hazırlanmasını incelemektedir. Bu kimya dalı ilk zamanlarda sadece canlı organizmalar tarafından üretilen bileşiklerle sınırlıydı, ancak plastik gibi insan yapımı maddeleri içerecek şekilde genişletildi. Organik bileşiklerin uygulama alanı muazzamdır ve farmasötikler, petrokimyasallar, gıda maddeleri, patlayıcı maddeler, boyalar ve kozmetik ve daha bir çok ürünü içerir.)

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds, which include not only hydrocarbons but also compounds with any number of other elements, including hydrogen (most compounds contain at least one carbon–hydrogen bond), nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur. This branch of chemistry was originally limited to compounds produced by living organisms but has been broadened to include human-made substances such as plastics. The range of application of organic compounds is enormous and also includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food, explosives, paints, and cosmetics.

Analytical Chemistry

Introducing the Division

(Analitik kimya, maddeyi ayırmak, tanımlamak ve ölçmek için kullanılan araç ve yöntemleri inceler ve kullanır. Uygulamada, ayırma, tanımlama veya niceleme, analizin tamamını oluşturabilir veya başka bir yöntemle birleştirilebilir. Ayırma, analitleri izole eder. Nitel analiz analitleri, nicel analiz ise sayısal miktarı veya konsantrasyonu belirler.)

Analytical chemistry studies and uses instruments and methods used to separate, identify, and quantify matter. In practice, separation, identification or quantification may constitute the entire analysis or be combined with another method. Separation isolates analytes. Qualitative analysis identifies analytes, while quantitative analysis determines the numerical amount or concentration.

Physical Chemistry

Introducing the Division

(Fiziksel kimya, maddenin moleküler ve atomik seviyede nasıl davrandığını ve kimyasal reaksiyonların nasıl oluştuğunu inceleyen kimya dalıdır. Analizlerine dayanarak, fiziksel kimyacılar karmaşık yapıların nasıl oluştuğu gibi yeni teoriler geliştirebilirler. Fiziksel kimyacılar genellikle yeni malzemeler için potansiyel kullanımları araştırmak ve geliştirmek için malzeme bilimcileri ile yakın çalışırlar.)

Physical chemistry is the study of how matter behaves on a molecular and atomic level and how chemical reactions occur. Based on their analyses, physical chemists may develop new theories, such as how complex structures are formed. Physical chemists often work closely with materials scientists to research and develop potential uses for new materials.
