Question

1. some chemists are interested in studying the rates of chemical reactions based on structures of the various substances involved and trying to figure out the step - by - step mechanism of how the reactions occur on the molecular level. because the chemistry of carbon - containing compounds is so diverse, these chemists often study those compounds exclusively. which combined branches of chemistry would most likely be involved in this type of study?

physical organic chemistry
bioorganic chemistry
bioinorganic chemistry
bioanalytical chemistry

Explanation:

Physical organic chemistry focuses on the rates of chemical reactions and reaction mechanisms at the molecular level for carbon - containing compounds. Bio - related branches like bioorganic, bioinorganic, and bioanalytical chemistry mainly deal with biological aspects in addition to chemical compounds.

Answer:

Physical Organic chemistry
