Organic and inorganic chemistry are two fundamental branches of chemistry that play an important role in the study of substances, their composition, structure, properties, and chemical transformations. Organic chemistry focuses primarily on carbon-containing compounds, including hydrocarbons and their derivatives, while inorganic chemistry studies a wide range of substances such as metals, minerals, acids, bases, salts, and oxides. Both branches are essential for understanding chemical processes in nature, scientific research, and modern industrial production.
For students of specialty G1 “Chemical Technologies and Engineering” within the educational and professional programme “Oil and Gas Processing”, the study of organic and inorganic chemistry is particularly significant. Knowledge of organic chemistry helps students understand the composition and properties of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products, and hydrocarbons. Inorganic chemistry provides the theoretical basis for studying catalysts, mineral substances, acids, alkalis, and other chemical compounds used in industrial processes.
