Chemistry is the scientific study of matters their properties and behaviour. It deals with the study of elements, atoms, molecules, ions, compounds and their chemical composition, structure, properties and changes when they undergo reaction with other substances.
SCOPE:
Chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology. It provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level. Chemistry explains aspect of plants and animals (botany and zoology), the formation of rocks and soils (geology), the formation of atmosphere ozone and environmental pollutants (ecology), how medications work (pharmacology), how to collect DNA evidence at a crime scene (forensics) and many scientific researches.
Chemistry has many disciplines – inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and nanochemistry.
