DISCOVERIES IN CHEMISTRY AND THEIR IMPACTS ON PUBLIC LIFE INTRODUCTION Every single day‚ without even realising it‚ we use so many things that are brought to us by the discoveries and advances in chemistry. Many of these things we take for granted‚ and don ’t even bother to question how it got there‚ why it is there‚ and how it works. Chemistry makes up everything in our lives‚ from the air that we breathe‚ to the plastic on the keyboard I ’m typing on now‚ and a in depth study of some of the

substances that allow a current to pass ("go") between electrodes in a solution‚ when an electric field is applied. It is from Greek ιον‚ meaning "going." The word ion also is responsible for electrical current being symbolized by the letter i in chemistry and physics. An anion (pronounced /ˈæn.aɪ.ən/ AN-eye-ən)‚ from the Greek word ἄνω (ánō)‚ meaning "up"‚ is an ion with more electrons than protons‚ giving it a net negative charge (since electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively

Importance of library in our life Libraries are only next in importance to schools‚ colleges and universities as means of educating the public. A library is a store-house of books-books of all kinds and on all subjects under the sun. A good modern library usually subscribes to practically all the important newspapers and periodicals. Books‚ newspapers and periodicals are the main features of a library and they represent the endeavours‚ achievements and glory of writers‚ statesmen‚ scientists‚ philosophers

Nuclear Chemistry: The Good vs. the Ugly The definition for nuclear chemistry is the application of chemical techniques to the solution of problems in nuclear physics. This includes the discovery of naturally occurring and synthetic radioactive elements and the results of nuclear fission. There are both pros and cons in nuclear chemistry. People believe that nuclear chemistry is bad for the environment but there are a lot of great things that can come out of this. Things like medical uses‚ food

Materials in Our Daily Life : 95 : 21 Materials in Our Daily Life The basic aim of science is not only to study and understand natural phenomena but also to use this knowledge to make our lives more comfortable. Science and technology have enabled us to develop more economical and convenient methods to recover useful materials from nature and to put them to various uses. Chemistry has enabled us to synthesize new materials which have desired properties‚ thus‚ making them even better than natural

Chemistry (the etymology of the word has been much disputed)[1] is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. The science of matter is also addressed by physics‚ but while physics takes a more general and fundamental approach‚ chemistry is more specialized‚ being concerned with the composition‚ behavior (or reaction)‚ structure‚ and properties of matter‚ as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions.[2] It is a physical science which studies various substances‚ atoms‚ molecules
