Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of matter, defined as anything that has mass and takes up space, and the changes that matter can undergo when it is subject to different environments and/or changes in its physical conditions. The five major fields of study contained within the subject of chemistry include analytical chemistry (including forensics), biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry.
The core concepts of chemistry are influential in other disciplines as the principles and analytical tools of chemistry are used to target biological processes inside living cells and organisms. Processes in the field of chemistry may be successfully used in determining and/or predicting different geological phenomena and events and progressions. Chemistry is integral in medicine such as in the development of medications and surgical materials as well as laboratory tests. Chemistry can help us to understand, monitor, protect and improve the environment around us by utilizing tools and techniques to measure air and water pollution.
