Chemistry Challenge

The scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.

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

Because it provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level.
