This is a substantial area of chemistry. At present, the divisions are not clear. They include such subjects as nonmetallic solids, predominantly silicate chemistry, and metallic chemistry. Other areas such as high temperature and gryogenics may also be included. |
|
Its particular subdivisions are not sufficiently well developed to include as subdivisions. Most of the information available can be organized according to connected subjects.
|
Study of inorganic systems depends heavily on all areas of physics. Some areas of mechanics will be useful particle mechanics, rigid body mechanics, and nonrigid mechanics are more useful than gravitation. Most of thermodynamics is useful. Most parts of electromagnetism including electrostatics, electric current, magnetism, and optics are useful. Relativity, and quantum mechanics are somewhat useful. Many areas of structure of matter are useful. |

Inorganic systems include inorganic substances. changes and reactions are also useful. Other sytems include chiefly organic chemistry. There is some overlap between the subjects. Biology, earth science, and astronomy are chiefly useful for their applications which suggest research problems. The history, sociology, institutions, culture, anthropology, and personal studies of this subject will be considered in more detail as the site develops. |
