INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY
CHEMISTRY
Is the branch of science that deals with study of composition,decomposition,structure
and properties of matter.
MATTER
is anything which has got mass or weight and can occupies space.
CHEMIST
Is the person who study about chemistry
ALCHEMIST
Is a person who studied Chemistry in ancient times
SCIENCE
Is the systematics study of nature.
BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY
I. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Is the branch of chemistry which deal with study of carbon compounds
II. INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Is the branch of chemistry which deal with the study of properties and behavior of
inoganic compound
III. PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
Is the branch of chemistry which deals with the study of relationship between
physical properties of substances and their chemical composition and
transformation
IV. ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
Is the brach of chemistry which deals with the study and uses of instruments and
methods used to separate, identify and quantify chemical species in matter.
V. BIOCHEMISTRY
Is the branch of chemistry which deals with the study of chemical processes that
occur in living things
VI. SOIL CHEMISTRY
Is the study of various chemical nutrient present in soil and their influence on
the properties of soil such as alkalinity or acidity
SCIENTIFIC SKILLS
Are skills that chemistry used during experiment and practical work in facts and
verify them
These scientific skills includes
i. Careful and thorough observation
ii. Accurate recording of what has been observed
iii. Organising the observed and recorded information
iv. Repeating test to make observation more Accurate
v. Drawing conclusion from observation
vi. Predicting possible outcomes of similar experiments.

RELATIONSHIPS OF CHEMISTRY WITH OTHER RELATED DISCIPLINE
Chemistry is not an isolated discipline, because it is related to other discpline such
as biology, physics, agriculture and mathematics,
The following are relationship of chemistry with other related discipline.
I. BIOLOGY.
These disciplines converge in biochemistry and biotechnology field.
Biochemistry explores the chemical process that occurs within living organism for
understanding biologucal systems
Biotechnology is the use of living organism to produce economically useful product
Therefore the relationships of these discipline bring developement that resolves
daily life challenges related to agriculture, medicine, nutrition and environmental
science.
II. PHYSICS
Chemistry and physics converge in physical chemistry
This field drives innovation and technology advancement in various area such as
medical instruments, materials science and product from manufacturing industry.
III. AGRICULTURE
Chemistry is closely related to agriculture through agro-chemistry
Agro-chemistry examine the chemical process related to plants, animals, soil health,
crop protection and fertilizers
This field help in ensuring food availability and security as well as good agricultural
practices which enhance the quality of agricultural products
IV. GEOLOGY
Chemistry and geology intergrate through geochemistry field.
This field applies chemistry theories and principles in exploring the chemical
composition and processes of earth and other planets
Geochemist use their expertise in investigating the abundance and distribution of
chemical elements in rocks and minerals which is the foundation of mining industry.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Environmental science apply chemistry theories and principles to study the
interactions of chemical in the the environmwnt, including pollution and theory
impact to natural world.
VI. MATHEMATICS
Mathematics allows individuals to conducts experiments, make predictions and
develop deep understanding on the principle governing the behaviours of matters.
Fore example it applied in measuring mass, volume, temperature, and ratio of
concentration of chemical.

APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN DIFFERENT AREAS
Chemistry is applied in different field the following are examples
1. APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN AGRICULTURE
i. Chemistry used to manufacture fertilizer: Which used to improve the quality and
quantity of crops and yields
ii. Chemistry used to manufacture pesticides: Which used for destroying or controlling
insects or other organism harmful to crops or animals or product.
iii. Chemistry used to manufacture animals vaccine: Which are used to protect animals
from diseases.
2. APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY
i. Chemistry used in preparation of baked food such such as bread, cakes, and
biscuits.
ii. Chemistry used to manufacture food preservatives chemicals: For example nitrate,
common salt, citric acid and alcohol.
3. APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN MEDICINES
i. Chemistry used to manufacture vaccine :Which used by human to be protected from
diseases
ii. Chemistry also uses to manufacture drugs and other medicine which used to treat
and cure diseases
4. APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
i. Chemistry used to process raw materials from different sources to obtain product :
for example plastics container.
ii. Chemistry is used to manufacture the machines part such as engines.
5. APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN HOME CARE PRODUCTS AND COSMETICS
i. Chemistry used to manufacture soap, and detergent: Which used for cleaning
ii. Chemistry Used to manufacture deodorant, lotions, lipstick and face foundation
cream which used to improve one's physical appearance or odour.
iii. Chemistry used to synthesize disinfectant, paint, air freshener and polish which used
at home
6. APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN TRANSPORT
i. Chemistry used to manufacture fuel and lubricants which used in motor vehicle, air
craft, and ships
ii. Chemistry Used to manufacture parts of means of transport such as engine,
betteries and tyres
iii. Chemistry Used to make paints, coolant, carpets and seat cover found in means of
transport.
7. APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN COMMUNICATION
i. Chemistry used to manufacture newspapers, magazine, telephone, radio, television
and computer
ii. Chemistry also used to make wires, betteries, chemicals which is the components
of communication media.

IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING CHEMISTRY
i. Help get professionals people like doctors, nurses, engineers, pharmacists.
ii. Helps us to make medicine to cure sick people.
iii. Helps to understand the nature and composition of matter.
iv. Helps to get knowledge of making materials and objects such as plastics,cosmetics,
rubber,clothes,sugar,detergents.
v. The knowledge of chemistry is used in agriculture to improve productivity.
