Wow, Chemistry!

Is it possible to think of life today without using chemistry?

 
Just look at the world around you and note down the stuff, material and things we use today.

Now just imagine that you have jumped back 300 years in time, from today in the 21st century to the 18th century.

Which are the things that you were using in 21st century you would not find in 18th century?

Modern medicine, cement, petrol, synthetic clothes, paper, new kinds of metals, computer, mobile phones, the micro processor and memory chips,  the screen of your television and computers….it all came out due to development in chemistry.
 

Aren't they central part of our life today!
 

Chemistry helps us understand two fundamental questions - how is the structure of a substance and what particles it is made up of? how could we bond one substance with another kind of substance to create a new substance?

People who use the principles of chemistry, its methods and techniques are called chemists.

Chemists work in pharmaceutical companies producing medicines, they also create new kind of medicines. They work in food processing industries and create new processes to preserve food for longer duration using chemicals. They work with metallurgical industries and create processes to get more and more metals out of an ore.  They work in clothing industries; They are the ones who create new kinds of fibres to create clothes to be used in a very specific condition. They work in foundries creating silicon chips to be used in our computers and phones
 

As it happens the people who work in a specialised area, develop their own language or symbols. It helps  them to communicate with each other better and efficiently without loosing any meaning. Chemistry also a special language - it’s symbols are made out of english alphabets. Every symbol carries with it some numbers. Everything has some meaning. Then there are methods to measure substances, there are rules that helps us decipher more about the matter.
