Question

Joseph priestly discovered and described the chemical properties of oxygen what type of chemist would he be considered today?

A) Biochemist
B) organic chemist
C)physical chemist
D) inorganic chemist[

I think that it is A because oxygen is a element

Answer 1

@Cuanchi

Answer 2

Typical biochemists study chemical processes and chemical transformations in living organisms, other biochemists study DNAs, proteins and cell parts. The word "biochemist" is a portmanteau of "biological chemist".
Biochemists also research how certain chemical reactions happen in cells and tissues and observe and record the effects of products as in food additives and medicines. The main function of a biochemist is to focus on improving the qualities of lives.[1]

Answer 3

so are you saying that it is Organic chemist

Answer 4

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds, which include not only hydrocarbons but also compounds with any number of other elements, including hydrogen (most compounds contain at least one carbon–hydrogen bond), nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur. This branch of chemistry was originally limited to compounds produced by living organisms but has been broadened to include human-made substances such as plastics. The range of application of organic compounds is enormous and also includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food, explosives, paints, and cosmetics.

Answer 5

Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems in terms of laws and concepts of physics. It applies the principles, practices and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics and dynamics, equilibrium.

Answer 6

@Cuanchi are you saying that it is the organic chemist

Answer 7

Inorganic chemistry deals with the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (carbon based compounds, usually containing C-H bonds), which are the subjects of organic chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry. It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry–including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medicine, fuel, and agriculture.

Answer 8

I just giving you the fields that study each of the kind of scientist for you to choose

Answer 9

After reading each one I think that it is inorganic or organic. am I right?

Answer 10

am I right @Cuanchi

Answer 11

Ok getting close, your final answer?

Answer 12

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds

It is his study is referent to Carbon compounds?

Answer 13

no it is oxygen

Answer 14

then?

Answer 15

I am not sure

Answer 16

@Cuanchi

Answer 17

inorganic chemist[
