Overview

A branch of chemistry that deals with the relationships between the physical properties of substances and their chemical compositions and transformations. Examples of study within this branch are quantum chemistry, kinetics (rates of reaction), thermodynamics, free energy, and entropy.


Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles. Any object in motion is using kinetic energy: a person walking, a thrown baseball, a crumb falling from a table, and a charged particle in an electric field are all examples of kinetic energy at work.
