Chemistry is an experimental science. In other words, chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of nature and composition of the substance making of our environment.
Chemistry as the mother of all science,why do we need to study chemistry. – The world we live as made up of matter and always under goes changes and those changes are chemical process for example: rust of iron, burning of wood cooking e.t.c all involved in chemical reaction.
Must of this we used every day such as water we drink, must undergoes some stages of purification to make it suitable for domestic uses. And soaps, plastic drug, perfumes are all made through chemical processes. Moreover, studying chemistry provide us with the adequate knowledge to understand and make awareness because some materials are toxic and such could be pose danger to environment. Chemistry plays a vital role in pharmacy, engineering, agriculture and geology.
CAREERS FOR STUDYING CHEMISTRY
Due to the world developments, many advanced and developing countries were having unlimited developing nation with an interesting skilled man power, many public and private sectors of the economy which after opportunities :
1.Teaching service: Chemistry teachers and lectures in secondary schools, polytechnic colleges of education and universities laboratories assist in school and universities.
2.Health service: pharmacist and biochemist, food and nutrition centers assistance chemistry.
3.Food processing: food technologies and research chemistry.
4.Petroleum and petrochemist : Application research chemist and chemical engineering and laboratory assistance.
5.Manufactural industries: Research chemistry and chemical in the wood variety of manufacturing industries such as iron and steal.
6. Extractive industry: chemist mining engineering and geologist.
7. Agriculture: Agricultural scientist,chemist, biochemist and physiologist engaged in research to improve the quality and yield of crops.
8. Forestry: scientist engaged in research to present and improve forest and forestry production.
APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY
Chemistry has contributed greatly towards producing our basic needs and the proving the quality of our life.
*FOOD: chemical process are designed in the food process, so that it can be exported to distant countries and available to move to people to fight malnutrition.
*CLOTHING: Man made textile fibres produces as a result of intensive chemical research, Chemical research have made available and a wide range of clothing materials which can brought happy.
*Military: chemistry contributed to the discovery of many chemicals which as a result give an excessive exposure to environment for example mixing sulphur, charcoal and potassium trioxoniter (f)
*Space science: chemistry is not out in space exploration in our efforts to gain more know of other planet and other space around us, special rocket called sent into space .
*HOUSING: building materials like commercial cement and tiles are produced by chemical industries.
*MEDICINE: This health life that many of us enjoy. Is due to the variety of medicine that are technologist.
*TRANSPORTATION: Modern Transportation is an essential feature of today world that is gases, petrol, diesels are all animals sources re engineered by chemical processes.
