The importance of chemistry‚ or any other area of study‚ depends entirely on how relevant it is to some desired outcome. If you wished to create a new type of plastic‚ chemistry would be highly important‚ but if you wished to develop a new music genre‚ chemistry would probably be of no importance at all. It is extremely important. That aspirin or tylenol you may take for a headache was made by chemists‚ as are antibiotics‚ and other prescription meds. Not only are chemists in the drug trade‚ but

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

THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE (Review 1-7) I. Basic Chemistry A. Elements 1. Definition- an element is a substance composed of a single type of atom 2. Major elements of the human body 3. Trace elements of the body B. Atoms 1. Definition- the atom is the smallest part of an element which cannot be broken down further by ordinary chemical means. Atoms are composed of protons‚ neutrons and electrons. 2. Particles that make up atoms

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

The importance of food chemistry lies in its ability to counter the effects of decomposition and spoilage and extend the shelf life of foods. Food chemistry is a science that studies the chemical processes that take place in food. All food products are made of biological materials that react and interact in different ways‚ and under different

computer ------------------------------------------------- Computational chemistry From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry that uses principles of computer science to assist in solving chemical problems. It uses the results of theoretical chemistry‚ incorporated into efficient computer programs‚ to calculate the structures and properties of molecules and solids. Its necessity arises from the well-known fact that apart from relatively recent results

How has the study of chemistry affected the lives of ordinary people? 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 wonderful

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

The Chemistry in Chili For my 2018 Chef Speciality project I will be explaining the chemistry included while cooking chili. Chili is a commonly cooked and served dish and is widely enjoyed across the whole nation. The chili recipe that I will be using includes 2lbs of extra lean ground turkey‚ ½ cup of chopped onions‚ 1 tbsp. Garlic powder‚ 3 oz of diced green chilies‚ 10 oz of can tri- bean blend (drained)‚ 10 oz can organic black beans (Drained) 10 oz of organic diced tomato‚ 1 tbsp. Xylitol
