5 Questions
What is chemistry?
Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.
What does chemistry cover?
Chemistry covers the elements that make up matter to the compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances.
What does chemistry address?
Chemistry addresses the nature of chemical bonds in chemical compounds.
Why is chemistry sometimes called the central science?
Chemistry is sometimes called the central science because it provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level.
Give an example of how chemistry is applied in other scientific disciplines.
Chemistry explains aspects of plant growth (botany), the formation of igneous rocks (geology), how atmospheric ozone is formed and how environmental pollutants are degraded (ecology), the properties of the soil on the moon (cosmochemistry), how medications work (pharmacology), and how to collect DNA.
