Chemistry is the study of the basic atomic building-blocks of nature ane to form the solids, liquids, and gases that make up life and everything else we know. For the many different chemical elements and compounds, see:

• The Periodic table
• Inorganic chemistry, which studies the basic principles that are applied in mineralogy and Materials Science
• Organic chemistry, which underlies biochemistry
• Physical chemistry, which includes the theoretical aspects of computational chemistry and quantum chemistry
• Analytical chemistry, the basis of environmental chemistry

For some basic concepts see:

• Orbitals
• Kinetics
• Thermochemistry
• Electrochemistry
• Chemical bonding
• Isomerism

History of Chemistry:

• Alchemy
• Discovery of the chemical elements
