Question

1. which branch of chemistry is the study of non-organic substances, many of which have organic fragments bonded to metals (organometallics)? (1 point)

theoretical chemistry
inorganic chemistry
analytical chemistry
physical chemistry

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Theoretical chemistry focuses on mathematical models/theories, not non - organic substances.
• Inorganic chemistry studies non - organic (inorganic) compounds, including organometallics (organic fragments bonded to metals).
• Analytical chemistry is about analyzing chemical samples (composition, structure), not the study of non - organic substances.
• Physical chemistry deals with physical properties/principles of chemicals (like thermodynamics, kinetics), not non - organic substance classification.

So the correct option is the one related to non - organic substances study.

Answer:

B. Inorganic chemistry
