Why study chemistry?
Benefits of Studying Chemistry : -Chemistry is the central science and impacts on all facets of our lives. -An understanding of chemistry is necessary to all other sciences from astronomy to zoology. -All of the materials used by engineers and technologists are made by chemical reactions and we all experience chemical reactions continuously, whether it be breathing or baking a cake, driving a car or listening to a battery driven minidisk player. -Chemistry is concerned with all aspects of molecules, their physical and chemical properties, their composition and structure, their synthesis and use in the 21st century. -A Chemistry-based degree gives you an excellent qualification for a wide career choice within science, industry or commerce. -A Chemistry graduate is numerate, analytical, and practical and has good problem solving, presentation and communication skills. - Jobs are to be found in small, medium and multinational chemical companies as well as in business, banking, accountancy, marketing, advertising, teaching, and the IT sector. - Of course, you may decide to continue studying Chemistry and many of our graduates opt to do research for a further period of one to three years for a higher degree.
What are the difference between chemistry and biochemistry?
Chemistry mainly deals with study of physical and chemical properties of organic and inorganic matters in depth but biochemistry involves mainly study of compounds (mostly organic compounds) of Biomedical interest. Chemistry has mainly three branches- inorganic, physical and organic chemistry.Biochemistry is branch of chemistry (bio-organic chemistry) that deals with study of chemical basis of life in living organism including plants and animals. It is very much developed science and has following branches:-Animal biochemistryMedical biochemistryClinical biochemistryPlant biochemistryEnvironmental biochemistryNutrition biochemistryIndustrial biochemistry,Enzymology, molecular biology and geneticsetc.Study of Biochemistry has good scope like in teaching in medical and dental college, clinical research, pharma industry, pathology labs, nutrition biochemistry, etc. There is lot of scope abroad also.
What's the difference between biology and chemistry?
Chemistry: The science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems. Biology: The science of life and of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution. It includes botany and zoology and all their subdivisions. Those are the dictionary definitions. Chemistry is much more involved in math and physics than biology is and chemistry is pretty cut and dry because you deal with chemicals. Biology gets messy because living things are messy - lots of fluids and moving parts.
Help with chemistry study guide?
1. the substances in a compound are chemically joined in a fixed proportion 2. homogeneous 3. no it's a compound 4. true 5. evidence of a chemical change 6. a change in phase that would be physical 7. false an enzyme is responsible and physical doesn't change 8. false physical 9. a gas 10. atom there are 6.022 * 10^23 atoms within a molecule 11. false, only gas expands to fill a container 12. false,melting glass is a physical change
What are the different types/classifications of chemistry?
Physical chemistry- chemistry concerned with the application of the techniques and theories of physics to the study of chemical systems. Involving states of matter, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and such variantsInorganic chemistry- chemistry of compounds that do not contain hydrocarbon radicals. Involving s,p,d and f block elements, coordinate compounds and such.Organic chemistry- chemistry of carbon compounds (other than simple salts such as carbonates, oxides, and carbides). Involving alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, arenes, alcohol, ketones, aldehydes and such.
