Abstract
Within chemistry there are three main divisions: physical, inorganic and organic. Of these the least accessible to physicists and mathematicians is organic chemistry since this branch, whilst being entirely self consistent and logical to this author, is the least numerate of the three and for that reason appears to rely on few of the normal “physical” laws of science. Generally the organic chemist is primarily concerned with chemical reactivity and synthesis rather than thermodynamics and kinetics.
