What is Chemistry? Introduction, Degrees, Jobs, Salary, Super Tips, Required Skills, Branches, Career & Scope
In past Chemistry was chemist were considered magicians as there primary aim of the life was to convert the common metals into Gold. Basically this myth became the cause of progress in the field of Chemistry. During their experiments chemists discovered many new phenomenons. Great Muslim scientist Jabir ibn Hayyan is considered the father of Chemistry. Muslim scientists laid the foundation of this natural science, so its our heritage and we are proud on it.
What is Chemistry
Chemistry is a branch of basic science that deals with the composition, structure, properties and changes of matter(element, mixtures and compounds). Chemistry plays a role of bridge between the other natural sciences like Physics, Botany, Zoology, Geology etc. That’s why it is also called the central science.
