Document Summary
Natural science used to be divided up between physical science and biology living things were bio and nonliving physics. Chemistry: the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes it undergoes. By learning about microstructures, chemists can explain the behavior of macrostructures- the visible things all around you. Organic chemistry: study of most carbon-containing compounds. Inorganic chemistry: study of all substances not classified as organic(mostly non-carbon) Physical chemistry: study of the properties and changes of matter and their relation to energy. Analytical chemistry: identification of the components and composition of materials. Biochemistry: study of substances and processes occurring in living things. Theoretical: use of math and computers to understand the principles behind observed chemical behavior and to design and predict the properties of new compounds. Chemical: any substance that has a definite composition. Carried out for the sake of increasing knowledge. Teflon-discovered by roy plunkett found a white cylinder with non stick properties.
