I've heard of organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry, what does "pure" chemistry involve in terms of elements...?

It's a degree classification, pure as opposed to applied chemistry.

Pure chemistry is the theoretical study of chemistry. The definition of pure chemistry is to focus on research to advance one's knowledge and understanding of a chemistry principle or process. The basis for pure chemistry is a curiosity about why something happens and investigating that cause.

Okay... I would have thought that chemistry was a pretty much fully understood science by now...

Hmm, isn't that what they said about Newtonian physics prior to the advent of Einstein and quantum mechanics?

The periodic table and how elements combine into molecules isn't likely to change...

Well just see about that, the WOKE have only just begun their assault on STEM.

Take just one example namely graphene, which was discovered by two researchers at Manchester University. Just look at the huge number of applications it is being used for currently and will be in the future.

Oh, if it's anything like past historical examples, they'll set science back centuries.

There is no way science will be allowed to fuck with the solidarity.

Graphene, and it's cousin Carbon 60 (aka "Buckyballs"), are just finding new ways to arrange the molecular bonds of carbon atoms.

Just, now that's funny!

DESCRIPTION
What are the chemical aspects of graphene as a novel 2D material and how do they relate to the molecular structure? This book addresses these important questions from a theoretical and computational standpoint.

Graphene Chemistry: Theoretical Perspectives presents recent exciting developments to correlate graphene’s properties and functions to its structure through state-of-the-art computational studies. This book focuses on the chemistry aspect of the structure-property relationship for many fascinating derivatives of graphene; various properties such as electronic structure, magnetism, and chemical reactivity, as well as potential applications in energy storage, catalysis, and nanoelectronics are covered. The book also includes two chapters with significant experimental portions, demonstrating how deep insights can be obtained by joint experimental and theoretical efforts.

Topics covered include:

Graphene ribbons: Edges, magnetism, preparation from unzipping, and electronic transport
Nanographenes: Properties, reactivity, and synthesis
Clar sextet rule in nanographene and graphene nanoribbons
Porous graphene, nanomeshes, and graphene-based architecture and assemblies
Doped graphene: Theory, synthesis, characterization and applications
Mechanisms of graphene growth in chemical vapor deposition
Surface adsorption and functionalization of graphene
Conversion between graphene and graphene oxide
Applications in gas separation, hydrogen storage, and catalysis
Graphene Chemistry: Theoretical Perspectives provides a useful overview for computational and theoretical chemists who are active in this field and those who have not studied graphene before. It is also a valuable resource for experimentalist scientists working on graphene and related materials, who will benefit from many concepts and properties discussed here.

Graphene could become the new silicon.

Future chips may be 10 times faster, all thanks to graphene

The chips found in the best CPUs and GPUs on the market currently are all made out of silicon, but scientists are aware of their limitations. In order to keep scaling up the performance without damaging power efficiency, a lot of research goes into finding a replacement for silicon.
One such option might be graphene, which could potentially offer 10 times the performance of silicon while maintaining low power consumption. However, there’s a problem — it’s really expensive to make.

Chemistry is chemistry? Pretty simple.

Newton's laws of motion were 3, count them three. 1,2,3

One. F=mA.

I have a degree in pure chemistry, thanks all the same.

Meaningless claim here at JPP.

None of Newton's theories were falsified by Einstein or quantum mechanics.
