1. What branch of chemistry is foundational to the other
areas of chemistry?

Physical, Inorganic, Biochemistry, Analytical, and Organic

Physical chemistry deals with applying physics to the study of matter. It's also probably the most important branch. Inorganic chemistry deals with stuff that is chemically composed of elements other than carbon. The branch of Biochemistry concerns itself with living things. Analytical chemistry deals with analyzing and finding out what substances are present in a particular material and how much of each substance is present. Finally, organic chemistry deals with substances that are compounds of carbon.

Explanation:

i think the answer is terrae but not 100 percent sure. ▓▬▬ §

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
