1.1 Chemistry A. What Is Chemistry? * Because living and non-living things are made of matter‚ chemistry affects all aspects of life and most natural events. * Matter- is anything that has mass and occupies space. * Chemistry- is the study of the composition of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. B. Areas of Study * Five traditional areas of study are organic chemistry‚ inorganic chemistry‚ biochemistry‚ analytical chemistry‚ and physical chemistry. * Organic

Botany and many others. Chemistry is one such branch of Science where we learn about various elements in nature and also about their physical and chemical properties. We even have Chemistry as a subject in schools. Some students find Chemistry boring but it is a really interesting subject for those who love to explore the world of Chemistry. We come across various things and happenings in our lives. The reasons for almost all of the happenings have their roots in Chemistry. We learn about the structure

In today’s world‚ advancements in science and chemistry are fundamental for saving lives from diseases and saving the planet from pollution. Advances in science are transforming our world at an incredible pace. A recent advancement in science is the finding of another flu virus in Chinese chickens. Scientists found this virus before it progressed to infecting humans. Scientist can develop a way of exterminating this type of flu‚ thus saving human lives. Science saves lives everyday. In parts

Editor’s Note: This occasional series of articles looks at the vital things in our lives and the chemistry they are made of. You are what you eat. But do you recall munching some molybdenum or snacking on selenium? Some 60 chemical elements are found in the body‚ but what all of them are doing there is still unknown. Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen‚ carbon‚ hydrogen and nitrogen‚ with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining

CHEMISTRY IN OUR LIFE Science is considered as a continuous human effort to systemize knowledge to describe and understand nature. Chemistry is defined as that branch of science which deals with the study of composition structure and properties of matter and the changes which the matter undergoes under different condition and the laws which govern these changes. Chemistry- a key of mystery is a subject which is necessary for living in this world. Today chemistry has become a daily use

thermodynamics plays a vital role in the design of any engine or power-generating plant‚ and therefore a good grounding in thermodynamics is required for much work in engineering. If thermodynamics only governed the behavior of engines‚ it would probably be the most economically important of all sciences‚ but it is much more than that. Since the chemical and physical state of matter depends strongly on how much thermal energy it contains‚ thermodynamic principles play a central role in any description of

Using chemistry for electronics and vice versa The microelectronics industry is continually striving to miniaturize conventional silicon-based electronic devices to provide higher performance technology that can be housed in smaller packaging. Progress resulting from this miniaturization is evident from the rapid advances in consumer electronics‚ such as cell phones and laptop computers‚ that have been observed in recent years. Now‚ silicon-based molecular electronics -- a complementary technology
