Chemistry around us.

Ever wonder why chemistry is so important?
Let me give you ten important thing you should know about chemistry.

1. CHEMISTRY IS THE STUDY OF MATTER AND ENERGY
Chemistry,like physics,is a physical science that explores the structure of matter and energy and the way the two interact with each other.The basic buiding block of matter are atoms,which join together to form molecules where atoms and molecules interact together to form new product through chemical reaction.

2. CHEMISTS USES THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Chemists and other scientists ask and answer questions about the world in a very specific way:the scientific method.This system helps scientists design experiments,analyze data and arrive at an objective conclusion.

3. CHEMISTRY HAVE VARIOUS BRANCHES
Think of chemistry as a tree with many branches,because the subject is so vast and its different branches has its own focus.

4. THE COOLEST EXPERIMENTS ARE CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENTS
Of course,its hard to disagree with this because any awesome biology or physics experiments could be expressed as a chemistry experiment,you say what?,chill,atom-smashing?ain’t that nuclear chemistry.Flesh eating bacteria?,biochemistry right.Many chemist says the lab component of chemistry is what got them interested in the science,not just chemistry,but all aspects of sciences.

5. CHEMISTRY IS A HANDS ON SCIENCE
If you take a chemistry class,you can expect there to be a lab component of the course.This is so because chemistry is a much about chemical reactions and experiments as it is about theories and models.In other to understand how chemist explore the world,you’ll need to understand how to take measurements,use glasswares(to avoid accident),use chemical safely and record and analyse experimental data.

6. CHEMISTRY TAKES PLACE IN THE LAB AND OUTSIDE THE LAB
When you picture a chemist,you may envision a lab coat and safety goggles,holding a flask of liquid in a labouratory setting.Yes,some chemist work in the lab,others work in the kitchen,in the field,in a plant or in an office.

7. CHEMISTRY IS THE STUDY OF EVERYTHING
Everything you can touch,taste or smell is made of matter.You could say matter makes up everything and further you could say everything is made of chemicals.Chemist study matter,therefore,chemistry is the study of everything,from the smallest particle to the largest structure.

8. EVERYONE USES CHEMISTRY
Even if you aren’t a chemist,you need to know the basics of chemistry.No matter who you are or what you do,you work with chemicals.you eat them,you wear them,the drugs you take are chemicals,and the products you make use of daily consist of chemicals.

9. CHEMISTRY OFFER MANY EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Chemistry is a good course to take to fulfill a general science requirement because it expose you to Maths,Biology,and physics along with principles of Chemistry.In college,a chemical degree can act as a springboard to numerous exciting careers and not just a chemist.

10. CHEMISTRY IS IN THE REAL WORLD,NOT JUST THE LAB
Chemistry is a practical science as well as a theoretical science.It is often used to design products real people use and to solve real-world problems.Chemistry research may be pure science ,which help us to understand how things work,contribute to our knowledge and help us make predictions about what will happen.Chemistry may be applied science,where chemist use this knowledge to make products,improve processes and solve problem.
