Study of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena in chemical systems in terms of physical laws and concepts [thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, kinetic theory, quantum mechanics...].
Physical chemistry deals with the study of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena in chemical systems in terms of physical laws and concepts [thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, kinetic theory, quantum mechanics ...].
Some of the subfields that physical chemistry includes are:
- Quantum chemistry.
- Chemical kinetics.
- Surface chemistry.
- Electrochemistry.
