The Inorganic Chemistry of Carbon Inorganic Carbon For more than 200 years‚ chemists have divided compounds into two categories. Those that were isolated from plants or animals were called organic‚ while those extracted from ores and minerals were inorganic. Organic chemistry is often defined as the chemistry of carbon. But this definition would include calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and graphite‚ which more closely resemble inorganic compounds. We will therefore define organic chemistry as the study

Clinical Chemistry When people consider their careers in the health care field‚ most of them would think about being a physician‚ a nurse or a surgeon. Individuals with interest in the health care field are not aware of clinical laboratory science. I am one of those individuals who don’t know much about clinical laboratory science before. After taking the class “Introduction to Clinical Laboratory Science”‚ I start to realize that clinical laboratory scientists are just like other health care members

Everything you need to know about hydrocarbons INTRODUCTION: organic chemistry Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The element carbon has a special role in chemistry because it bonds with other carbon atoms to give a vast array of molecules. The varity of molecules is so great that we find organic compounds in many common products we use‚ such as gasoline‚ medicines‚ shampoos‚ plastic bottles‚ and perfumes. The food we eat is composed of different

home. I decided to choose a different major which happened to be chemistry. I convinced myself that after all science is science. I decided that once I finished the chemistry major‚ I would support myself to study the laboratory science. I worked very hard in chemistry as I was aiming to graduate with honors. However‚ during the course of my study‚ I learned my things‚ which left me very surprised since I did not think that chemistry could contain so much information. In fact‚ it came to a point that

Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear science is the study of sub-atomic particles and their function in various subjects. A nucleon is the collective name for the two components of the atomic nucleus: the neutron and the proton. Isotopes are any of the different forms of an element each having different mass numbers‚ which give the total number of nucleons. The major fundamentals of nuclear chemistry include radioactive decay‚ the nature of fission and fusion‚ and mass defect. The decomposition of the

Question: What Is the Importance of Chemistry? What is the importance of chemistry? Why would you want to learn about chemistry? Chemistry is the study of matter and its interactions with other matter and energy. Here’s a look at the importance of chemistry and why you should study it. Answer: Chemistry has a reputation for being a complicated and boring science‚ but for the most part‚ that reputation is undeserved. Fireworks and explosions are based on chemistry‚ so it’s definitely not a boring science

Chemistry and Society CHM/110 Xavier Villarreal November 6‚ 2011 Chemistry is a vast quantity of a person’s everyday life. A person can find chemistry in his or her daily life in the foods that a person eats‚ air a person breathes‚ soap‚ and accurately everything a person comes in contact with. Chemistry is significant in everyday life because chemicals make up everything in life. For example‚ a person’s body‚ pet‚ a desk‚ the sun‚ food‚ and drugs a person may take‚ to name a few. A person
