  • Chemistry as the science about matter

    Chemistry is a natural science that studies substance. The alchemists are considered to be the first chemists. They tried to create the elixir of life and manage to transform iron ore into gold. Nowadays chemistry just scrutinizes the components of different substances, their molecular structure and the reactions that happen while different matters are being mixed. That is also very necessary to determine the laws to have the possibility to create the needed matters from other ones. Chemistry, biology and physics are the sciences which have got lots of joint purposes.

    Inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry analytical chemistry, physical and biological chemistry are the parts of general term “Chemistry”.

    As the scientists had the beliefs that the organic elements have the connections to the life organisms the organic chemistry was named this way. But today's chemistry has proved that not all the objects of organic chemistry are connected to the life and living objects. On the contrary, lots of inorganic components are necessary for some life processes, for example, cooper and iron.

    The substances which include carbon and hydrogen are the main objects of researches provided by organic chemistry. This science studies their construction, properties, composition and processes. There are lots of commonly used products which couldn't be invented without the researches of organic chemistry.

    Analytical chemistry is a subdivision of chemistry which tries to describe the laws of processes which occur in compositions of organic and inorganic substances. The molecules and atoms of the substance are examined in details by this science. It also executes the researches to define the combination and characteristics of given elements. Analytical and physical chemistry are very similar, due to they study the similar reactions but take some various data from them. As is aimed on experiment and hard facts, its finding are helpful for biomedical or environmental monitoring.
