Are there any areas of Chemistry that are dedicated to the study of elementary particles e.g.the Standard Model?
That is just wrong on many levels. And arrogant. Ask a ecosystems biologist whether their science is just physics, broken down to simplify it. Or whether they get any meaningful answers from elementary particle physics.That Neuron said:really all science is physics, its simply broken down into chemistry Biology and physics to simplify it, but they are not different sciences, so in many ways the deeper answers (like that of elementary particles) are supplied by physics.

That Neuron said:HAHAHAHAHA!
But I understand why you think looking at something physically is not effective when applying it... YES! its not necessary to use the QM equation when looking at some concept in Biochemistry.
But that doesn't change the fact that it is all elementary particle physics, does it?

enkiddu said:Don't forget radiochemistry/nuclear chemistry. It was radiochemistry that first allowed us to measure and identify the neutrino.
Borek said:Was it? I recall it was detection of two gamma rays of specific energies that was a fingerprint of the neutrino presence. This is hardly radiochemistry.
That being said, the border between physics and chemistry is blurry.
Chemistry is the study of matter and its interactions, while Particle Physics is the study of the fundamental particles and forces that make up matter. Chemistry focuses on the macroscopic level, while Particle Physics delves into the microscopic level.
The main areas of study in the Chemistry equivalent of Particle Physics are quantum mechanics, atomic and molecular structure, and chemical bonding. These areas help explain the behavior and properties of particles at the atomic and molecular level.
The periodic table in Chemistry is a visual representation of the elements and their properties, which are determined by the number and arrangement of particles within atoms. This directly relates to Particle Physics, as it studies the fundamental particles that make up atoms and how they interact with each other.
Experiments in Chemistry often involve mixing substances and observing the resulting reactions, while experiments in Particle Physics involve colliding particles and observing the reactions and particles produced. Additionally, experiments in Particle Physics are often conducted at high energies and require specialized equipment.
The Chemistry equivalent of Particle Physics has numerous real-world applications, such as in the development of new materials and drugs, understanding the properties of semiconductors used in electronics, and developing renewable energy sources. It also helps in developing technologies such as MRI machines and particle accelerators.
