"Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter."
The study of matter and its properties, including its structure, composition, and behavior under different conditions.
"It covers the elements that make up matter to the compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior, and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances."
"In the scope of its subject, chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology."
"It provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level."
"For example, chemistry explains aspects of plant growth, the formation of igneous rocks, how atmospheric ozone is formed and how environmental pollutants are degraded, the properties of the soil on the moon, how medications work, and how to collect DNA evidence at a crime scene."
"Chemistry is a study that has existed since ancient times."
"Over this time frame, it has evolved, and now chemistry encompasses various areas of specialization, or subdisciplines, that continue to increase in number and interrelate to create further interdisciplinary fields of study."
"The applications of various fields of chemistry are used frequently for economic purposes in the chemical industry." Additional Questions:
