Chemistry Basics Quiz

Chemistry studies the properties and behavior of matter, including the composition, structure, properties, behavior, and changes of chemical elements and compounds. It also addresses the nature of chemical bonds and occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology.

Chemistry is called the central science because it provides a foundation for understanding basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level, such as botany, geology, ecology, cosmochemistry, pharmacology, and forensics.
