What is Chemistry?

Everything you hear, see, smell, taste, and touch involves chemistry and chemicals. Chemistry is the science of the materials that make up our physical world. It's the study of chemicals and what happens when they are mixed, heated, or cooled.

Chemistry is also the study of atoms, molecules, and the interactions they undergo called chemical reactions. Through the breaking and forming of atomic bonds, various compounds change into new compounds, either producing or consuming energy in the process. Energy may be released in the form of heat or light, as in a fire or explosion.

By exploiting chemistry and what we know about chemical reactions, we can produce chemicals with useful properties. Chemistry is at the very core of our lives, from the medicines we take to the food we eat and the technology we use every day.

I hope this gives you a clearer understanding of what chemistry is and why it's so fundamental to our world. While the subject can be challenging, it's also incredibly rewarding. If you're ready to master chemistry and unlock your full potential, I'm here to help.
