What Is The Importance Of Chemistry?

First let me give you a plausible definition of Chemistry as the study of the interactions of matter with matter.

Chemistry study's the particles or components of the atom which are the Proton, Neutron and Electron and their interactions with other elements and molecules. You would learn how to balance chemical equations which involves making certain that there are an equal no. Of elements or molecules on both sides of the equation as for example:

NaOH+HCl>NaCl+H₂0

The importance of this general body of knowledge lies in the applications of chemistry which cannot be fully grasped without a thorough knowledge of all of the branches of chemistry.

To name a few of the branches of chemistry beyond general chemistry are organic chemistry which study's the interactions of carbon, elemental symbol C. Then you would study a sequence of physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and beyond. Each of these branches of chemistry will enable you to understand many different applications. Nano science is just one of many applications of chemistry.

You will also need a masterfull command of mathematics as chemistry will teach you to count again.
