Subfields of chemistry

Atom

Atoms are the basic particles of the chemical elements.

Atomic, molecular, and optical physics

Atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO) is the study of matter–matter and light–matter interactions, at the scale of one or a few atoms and energy scales around several electron volts.

See Chemical physics and Atomic, molecular, and optical physics

Chemical bond

A chemical bond is the association of atoms or ions to form molecules, crystals, and other structures.

See Chemical physics and Chemical bond

Chemical Physics Letters

Chemical Physics Letters is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research in chemical physics and physical chemistry.

See Chemical physics and Chemical Physics Letters

ChemPhysChem

ChemPhysChem is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Wiley-VCH on behalf of Chemistry Europe.

Classical mechanics

Classical mechanics is a physical theory describing the motion of objects such as projectiles, parts of machinery, spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies.

See Chemical physics and Classical mechanics

Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter, especially the solid and liquid phases, that arise from electromagnetic forces between atoms and electrons.

See Chemical physics and Condensed matter physics

Electron

The electron (or in nuclear reactions) is a subatomic particle with a negative one elementary electric charge.

See Chemical physics and Electron

Electron transfer

Electron transfer (ET) occurs when an electron relocates from an atom or molecule to another such chemical entity.

See Chemical physics and Electron transfer

Fluorescence intermittency

Fluorescence intermittency, or blinking, is the phenomenon of random switching between ON (bright) and OFF (dark) states of the emitter under its continuous excitation.

See Chemical physics and Fluorescence intermittency

Fractal

In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the topological dimension.

See Chemical physics and Fractal

Hydrogen bond

In chemistry, a hydrogen bond (or H-bond) is primarily an electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen (H) atom which is covalently bonded to a more electronegative "donor" atom or group (Dn), and another electronegative atom bearing a lone pair of electrons—the hydrogen bond acceptor (Ac).

See Chemical physics and Hydrogen bond

Intermolecular force

An intermolecular force (IMF) (or secondary force) is the force that mediates interaction between molecules, including the electromagnetic forces of attraction or repulsion which act between atoms and other types of neighbouring particles, e.g. atoms or ions.

See Chemical physics and Intermolecular force

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge.

See Chemical physics and Ion

Photodissociation

Photodissociation, photolysis, photodecomposition, or photofragmentation is a chemical reaction in which molecules of a chemical compound are broken down by absorption of light or photons.

See Chemical physics and Photodissociation

Photon

A photon is an elementary particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.
