Physical Chemistry

Physical chemistry is the study of the physical principles that underlie chemical phenomena. This subject thus provides the basis for understanding all areas of chemistry, as well as other scientific disciplines including biology and geology. Physical chemistry is comprised of four subjects: quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, and kinetics.
