Chemistry can be divided into branches according to either the
substances studies or the types of study conducted. The primary
division of the first type is between inorganic and organic
chemistry. Divisions of the second type are physical chemistry and
analytical chemistry. The original distinction between organic and
inorganic chemistry arose as chemists gradually realized that
compounds of biological origin were quite different in their
general properties from those of mineral origin; organic chemistry
was defined as the study of substances produced by living
organisms. When it was discovered in the 19th century that organic
molecules can be produced artificially in the laboratory, this
definition had to be abandoned. Organic chemistry is most simply
defined as the study of the compounds of carbon. Inorganic
chemistry is the study of chemical elements and their compounds.
