Answer to Question #60535 in General Chemistry for Daniel Greef

Question

What is the definition of chemistry?

Answer 1

Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. Chemistry includes topics such as the properties of individual atoms, how atoms form chemical bonds to create chemical compounds, the interactions of substances through intermolecular forces that give matter its general properties, and the interactions between sub-stances through chemical reactions to form different substances.
Chemistry is sometimes called the central science because it bridges other natural sciences, including physics, geology and biology.
The modern definition of chemistry: (Instead of the science of materials and their transformations)
"Chemistry is the system of ideas, methods, knowledges and theoretical concepts aimed at the study of AMC (atomic and molecular systems).
At the same time the main means of description, interpretation, prediction and use of AMS is the structure. "
