Chemistry

Chemistry- Contrary to popular belief, it is the study of matter and its properties, not chemicals.

Chemistry does not always involve test tubes and liquids. More often than not, it deals with the ionic charges of atoms. molecular structure, and more stuff you cant see. It is one of the largest scientific fields, and it leads to the most new products. The first form of chemistry to develop was alchemy, the search for the formula that wold turn lead in to gold. When alchemy became more than just the search for money and riches, the true science of chemistry was born.
