Chemistry Fundamentals Quiz

Chemistry studies the properties and behavior of matter, including the composition, structure, properties, behavior, and changes of atoms, molecules, and ions during reactions with other substances. It also addresses the nature of chemical bonds in compounds and occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology.

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

Chemistry explains aspects of plant growth (botany), the formation of igneous rocks (geology), atmospheric ozone formation and environmental pollutant degradation (ecology), properties of the soil on the moon (cosmochemistry), and how medications work (pharmacology).
