What is chemistry and its importance in our daily life?

 

IMPORTANCE OF CHEMISTRY IN OUR DAILY LIFE

Are you interested in finding out about things?

If yes. Then you may be a chemist because chemistry is FINDING OUT ABOUT THINGS. Finding out what they are made of, what changes they undergo?

What things? Anything! Everything! 

Take a look around you all the things you see, and lots of things you can not see, have to do with the science of chemistry.

Let start with yourself. The air you breathe is a mixture of chemical substances and the process of breathing is a chemical reaction. In this process, you take oxygen from the atmosphere and give carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere.

The food you eat is all chemical products and how your body turns them into muscles and bones and nerves and brain cells are some of the greatest of all chemical mysteries.

The clothes you wear, the books you read, the medicine you take, the house in which you live all these are products of chemistry, so is the family car, the metal in it, the rubber used to make its tires, the gas that moves it all are the products of chemistry.

Nature itself is a tremendous chemical laboratory. 

Everything in nature is forever passing through chemical changes. Here on Earth plants and animals grow, die, and decay rocks crack and crumble under the influence of air and water. In the universe new stars are formed, others fade. The sun that gives us heat, light, and energy is a flaming furnace of chemical processes that will eventually burn itself out, billions of years from now. 

Chemistry is the most important of all sciences of human welfare. The proper use of chemistry makes it possible for farmers to feed the world's ever-increasing population, for engineers to develop new means of transportation and communication that will bring the people of the world closer together, for doctors to cure the diseases of mankind, for manufactures to produce the thousands of items that are necessary for better and richer living. 

And this is only the beginning.

Within recent years, scientists have succeeded in penetrating the innermost secrets of chemical substances and have begun to make use of tremendous force that lies hidden in them. This atomic power opens up amazing possibilities for the future.
