Why is chemistry importance?

Answer 1

Chemistry is the science of matter and molecules, and the changes they undergo during chemical reactions. Everything we can see is made of the chemical elements and the molecules that they form. Studying chemistry gives us the opportunity to better understand the world that we live in.

The applications of chemistry are wide- ranging. Toiletries, drugs, plastics, glass, fuels, dyes and metals are just a small sample of the things that chemistry has provided for us. There are also some far less obvious applications of chemistry. Silicon, a chemical element, is used widely electronics for computers due to its semiconductor properties. Metals, like aluminum, titanium and steel, are used in the manufacture of planes, trains, cars, bridges etc. Chemists help to keep our water clean, ensure our food is safe to eat, protect the environment, make our medicines and are instrumental in the development of new materials.

In terms of studying chemistry, the opportunities after graduation are limitless. As well as careers in research and industry chemists can find themselves working in finance, marketing, publishing, journalism, commerce, patent law and accountancy to name but a few. It was recently reported that chemistry graduates enjoy the highest starting salaries of any discipline, more so than the arts, humanities or even Biology.

Answer 2

Are you kidding? Everything is chemicals, YOU are chemicals. Your computer is chemicals. Your eyeballs and blood are chemicals. People who want to become pharmacists should know chemistry so they understand drug reactions. Pharmaceutical engineers make those drugs and that is all chemistry. A doctor or nurse should be very familiar with chemistry, and chemical interactions, that way they can understand dosage, calculate dosage, and understand the drug reactions. Manufacturers used chemistry to make things, and they have to have the formulas just right, so that they have the right hardness, or softness, and the best materials possible. Chemical ingenuity and progressive thinking have driven progress in technology, manufacturing, medicine, science, nutrition, landscaping, environmental concerns, and on and on. To understand chemistry is to understand THINGS! And you can use that knowledge to improve things!

There is much more that could be said but I have to get back to my online chemistry homework. No kidding. Haha, best of luck!

Answer 3

Examples of beneficial uses of chemistry: pharmaceuticals industry, petrochemical industry, chemical analysis of all materials, plastics, toxicology, foods industry, pesticides, fertilizers, rockets fuels, batteries, cosmetics, etc.

Answer 4

Because all around us (including the universe) is a chemical compound or element (excepting some radiations).
