Chemistry Overview
- The primary focus of chemistry is the study of the composition, properties, and reactions of matter.
- Chemistry is sometimes called the central science because it connects and overlap with other sciences, such as physics, biology, and geology.
Interdisciplinary Connections
- Chemistry interacts with botany, the study of plants, in understanding the chemical composition and reactions within plants, as well as the development of plant-based products.
- Chemistry contributes significantly to forensics by analyzing evidence, identifying substances, and reconstructing crimes.
Characteristics of Chemistry
- As a physical science, chemistry is distinct from biological and earth sciences, focusing on the physical properties and reactions of matter.
