Course summary

Chemistry is a vital science. It is the study of materials based on the properties of atoms and the way that these atoms can be combined. Without chemistry, there could not have been any new drug development, new dyes, agrochemicals, plastics, computers, or spacecraft. We would have a much poorer understanding of the world, from the way that our bodies work to the effects on the environment of human activity. Chemistry is at the cutting edge of new technology.
