PYSICAL AND THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY

Physical Chemistry:  Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic and microscopic events in chemical systems as they relate to the laws, methods, and ideas of physics, including motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibria. Founder of physical chemistry and 1909 Nobel laureate Wilhelm Ostwald

The following are some of the main divisions of physical chemistry:

1. Thermodynamics
2. Kinetics in Chemistry
3. Dimensional Chemistry
4. Spectroscopy
5. Surface Chemistry
6. Electrochemistry
7. Chemistry equilibrium

Understanding the physical characteristics of atoms and molecules, how chemical processes take place, and what these characteristics indicate are the main goals of physical chemists. Their findings are based on an understanding of chemical characteristics and a description of how they behave utilising physics theories and mathematical calculations.

Theoretical Chemistry: The area of chemistry known as theoretical chemistry creates theoretical generalisations that are used in modern chemistry, such as the ideas of chemical bonding, chemical reactions, valence, the surface of potential energy, molecular orbitals, orbital interactions, and molecules.  The goal of theoretical chemistry is to offer hypotheses and justifications for chemical observations, as well as to pose queries that need to be addressed by subsequent experiments.  Examples include drug design, combinatorial chemistry, protein-protein docking, and molecular docking. The motivating force behind this graphical technique is the fitting of shape and electric potential. applying classical mechanics to model the movement of an assemblage of atoms and molecules' nuclei.
