Chemistry as the science about matter

Chemistry is a natural science which studies matter. The alchemists are considered to be the first chemists. They tried to create the elixir of life and manage to transform iron ore into gold. The main purpose of the today's chemists is to study the reactions that are happening on the molecular level and get known more about the reactions happen between various matters. What is more, chemistry as a science is associated with providing an explanation for the forenamed processes in the form of a law. Chemistry cooperates very closely with biology and physics.

This science is subdivided into inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry and some other more specific spheres.

As the chemists had the beliefs that the organic components have the connections to the life processes the organic chemistry was called such way. But today's chemistry has proved that not all the elements of organic chemistry are related to the life and living objects. Some inorganic components as cooper or iron, for example, play the main part in the in the processes of living objects.

The matters which include carbon and hydrogen are the main objects of researches provided by organic chemistry. Thanks to it year by year the humanity get known more and more about it and that knowledge is very useful. A huge amount of different products which we utilize in everyday life has been created with assistance of organic components.

Analytical chemistry is a subdivision of chemistry that tries to determine the laws of reactions which occur in compositions of organic and inorganic substances. It defines the geometric properties of atoms that helps to realize the processes better. It also executes the studies to define the combination and features of given elements. Analytical chemistry is experimental in live nature and in this way it is similar to physical chemistry. The scientists who work in this field bring much for the saving of natural resources and the safety of the environment.
