Chemistry is a branch of science that focuses on Composition, Properties and Interaction of Matter. Ronald Hoffmann define chemistry as the Science of Molecules and their transformations. He state that Chemistry is the science of very few elements but of infinite number of molecules derived from them. That is why we call chemistry as science of Atoms and Molecules.
Today every ‘object’ you see around is made of chemicals. Chemicals such as Fertilizers, Alkalies, acids, salts, dyes, polymers, drugs, soaps, Detergents, metals, alloys and similar Organic or inorganic chemicals are produced in Chemical Industries. These industries have large contribution in National Economy.
Chemical Principles are very important in understanding weather patterns. For instance we use thermometer to determine temperature. Thermometer consists of Mercury which help to determine the temperature.
Silicon is the important element in high-technology Semiconductor Devices. All the developments that you see today is because of such semiconductor devices which are again, the chemicals.
In healthcare applications today there are variety of drugs to tackle diseases. Cisplatin and Taxol are effective in Cancer Treatment. AZT i.e. Azidothymidine is helping the AIDS victims to survive.
The knowledge of chemistry helped to design and manufacture New Materials having specific magnetic, electric, and optical properties. Which helped to production of Superconducting Ceramics, Conducting Polymers, Optical Fibres, and various Solid State Devices.
We all know that CFCs is depleting our ozone layer. Chemistry helped us to produce environment friendly alternatives to CFCs.
