The field of [[chemistry]] uses analysis in three ways: to identify the components of a particular [[chemical compound]] (qualitative analysis),<ref>{{Cite web |title=Qualitative Analysis |url=https://www.lahc.edu/classes/chemistry/arias/Lab1QualAnaF11.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.lahc.edu/classes/chemistry/arias/Lab1QualAnaF11.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live}}</ref> to identify the proportions of components in a [[mixture]] (quantitative analysis),<ref>{{cite book|publisher=OpenStaxCollege |title=Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions|chapter=Quantitative Chemical Analysis |date=October 2014 |url=https://pressbooks-dev.oer.hawaii.edu/chemistry/chapter/quantitative-chemical-analysis/ |language=en}}</ref> and to break down [[chemical process]]es and examine [[chemical reaction]]s between [[chemical element|elements]] of [[chemical matter|matter]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=Spring 2018 |title=CHEMICAL AND BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING |url=https://axs.berkeley.edu/classdes/CBE%20140.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://axs.berkeley.edu/classdes/CBE%20140.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live}}</ref> For an example of its use, analysis of the concentration of elements is important in managing a [[nuclear reactor]], so [[nuclear scientist]]s will analyze [[neutron activation analysis|neutron activation]] to develop discrete measurements within vast samples. A [[matrix (chemical analysis)|matrix]] can have a considerable effect on the way a chemical analysis is conducted and the quality of its results. Analysis can be done manually or with a [[analyzer|device]].

==== Types of Analysis ====
; Qualitative Analysis: It is concerned with which components are in a given sample or compound.
: Example: Precipitation reaction
; Quantitative Analysis : It is to determine the quantity of individual component present in a given sample or compound.
: Example: To find concentration by uv-spectrophotometer.

====Isotopes====
{{See also|Isotope analysis|Isotope geochemistry}}
Chemists can use [[isotope analysis]] to assist analysts with issues in [[anthropology]], [[archeology]], [[food chemistry]], [[forensics]], [[geology]], and a host of other questions of [[physical science]]. Analysts can discern the origins of natural and man-made isotopes in the study of [[environmental radioactivity]].
