Physical chemistry
Physical chemistry is the study of the physical basis of
chemical systems and processes. Modern physical chemistry is firmly grounded upon
physics. Important areas of study include
chemical thermodynamics, chemical
kinetics,
quantum chemistry,
statistical mechanics,
electrochemistry,
surface and
solid state chemistry, and
spectroscopy.
Physical chemistry is also fundamental to modern
materials science.
