Chemistry

Chemistry is the scientific discipline that studies the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter. It examines the interactions between atoms and molecules, investigating how they combine and react under different conditions to form new substances. Chemistry is often referred to as the “central science” because it connects and overlaps with other natural sciences like physics, biology, and environmental science. The field encompasses various sub-disciplines, including organic chemistry (the study of carbon-containing compounds), inorganic chemistry (the study of inorganic matter), physical chemistry (the study of the physical properties and behavior of chemical systems), analytical chemistry (the techniques and methods for analyzing substances), and biochemistry (the study of chemical processes within and related to living organisms). Through chemical research, scientists gain insights that lead to advancements in health, materials, energy, and environmental protection.
