Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.

Chemistry explains aspects of plant growth, the formation of igneous rocks, the formation of atmospheric ozone, the properties of the soil on the moon, how medications work, and how to collect DNA evidence at a crime scene.

Chemistry is sometimes called the central science because it provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level.
