The physical sciences focus is mainly on non-living things. 4. However, chemistry is central to all living and non-living things because they consist of chemical structures. 5. Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter, the processes that matter undergoes, and the energy changes that accompany these processes. Branches of Chemistry 1. Chemistry includes six branches of study ? although these branches often overlap.
