,Chapter 01 - Chemistry: An Introduction
1. Define the following terms:
a. science
b. chemistry
ANS:
a. Science - a framework for gaining and organizing knowledge. It is a procedure for
processing and understanding certain information.
b. Chemistry - the science that deals with the matter of the universe and the changes it can
undergo.
