So what is chemistry? Chemistry is the study of matter, including its behaviour and characteristics. It is the study of all types of substances, including natural elements and compounds, atoms, molecules, and ions. As you probably already know, chemistry deals with everything around us. From cooking to cleaning detergents, medicines to diluting squash, chemistry is everywhere.  You can break down nearly anything into its chemical building blocks and understand how it reacts with other objects and with our environment. 

Besides being a great brain exercise, studying chemistry is an excellent way to enter a variety of careers. It has broad applications in many industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, medicine and more. Basic knowledge of physics and chemistry allows us to create amazing things with common materials. In a simple home project utilising chemistry, we can make substances change their states, and we can create convection currents and see them in action. Chemistry is truly a fascinating subject and the more you learn the more you will agree. 

While the subatomic domain of chemistry may seem purely theoretical and therefore irrelevant, it is a vital part of everyday life. It allows us to study the properties and the laws of atoms. Those properties, when applied correctly, can create wonderful objects. But chemistry is not just about creating beautiful and highly functional molecules. It can also be an integral part of human progress or a tool to counteract our mistakes. By studying chemistry, we can improve our environment in untold ways, from the basics of cleaning up water sources to potential geo-engineering projects using the incredible properties of fullerenes.
