Chemistry

Course summary

Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules, and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior, and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances. In the scope of its subject, chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology. It is sometimes called central science because it provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level.
