Chemistry Challenge

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

Chemistry covers the elements that make up matter to the compounds made of atoms, molecules, and ions and their composition, structure, properties, behavior, and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances.

Chemistry explains aspects of plant growth, the formation of igneous rocks, how atmospheric ozone is formed, how environmental pollutants are degraded, the properties of the soil on the moon, how medications work, and how to collect DNA.

Chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology and provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level.

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

Alkanes containing one or more halogen substituents.

They are used as flame retardants, fire extinguishants, refrigerants, propellants, solvents, and pharmaceuticals.

Many halocarbons have been shown to be serious pollutants and toxins. Chlorofluorocarbons have been shown to lead to ozone depletion.

Haloalkanes that contain chlorine, bromine, and iodine are a threat to the ozone layer.

No, methyl iodide does not have ozone-depleting properties.
