Introduction to Chemistry: What is Chemistry
1.0 Introduction to Chemistry
1.2 What is Chemistry?
In Primary Science, we learnt many topics about matter. These include air, water, rusting, burning, properties of matter, making work easier, and others. Chemistry picks out and studies what matter consists of, properties of matter, and changes such as rusting and burning in which new substances are formed.
Question 1.2
Define Chemistry.
Answer to Question 1.2
At home
The burning of kitchen fuel, cooking, rising of dough, bread going stale, milk turning sour, and decomposing of garbage involve Chemistry. Further examples are the ripening of fruits, yellowing of paper and green vegetables, rusting, respiration, and digestion.
