      hemistry deals with the composition, formation and properties of matter. This slant can be best described and understood in terms of basic unit of matter: atoms and molecules. Any material substance with mass & volume is called matter. There are three phases of matter.

      Solid - Solid has definite shape and definite volume.

      Liquid - Liquid has indefinite shape, takes the shape of the container and definite volume.

      Gas - Gas has indefinites shape, takes the shape of the container and indefinite volume that can expand and be compressed.

      Chemistry is the science of molecules and their transformations. It is the science not so much of the one hundred elements but of the infinite variety of molecules that may be built from them

      -Roald Hoffmann

      Importance of Chemistry

      Science can be viewed as a continuing human toil to systematize mastery for describing and understanding nature. For the cause of comfort science is sub-divided into various disciplines: chemistry, physics, biology, geology etc. Chemistry is the limb of science that studies the composition, properties and interaction of matter. Chemists are enquiring in knowing how chemical transformations occur.

      Chemistry plays a mean role in science and is often entwine with other branches of science like physics, biology, geology etc. Chemistry also plays an important character in daily life. Chemical principles are important in diverse areas, such as: weather composition, functioning of brain and working of a computer. Chemical industries produce fertilizers, alkalis, acids, alloys, dyes, polymers, drugs, metals, detergents, soaps, salts and other inorganic and organic chemicals, including new materials, accord in a big way to the national economy.

      Chemistry plays an chief role in meeting human necessitate for food, health care products and other materials aimed at improving the quality of life. This is typified by the large scale production of a variety of fertilizers, improved difference of pesticides and insecticides. Similarly many lives save medicine such as cisplatin and taxol, are effective in cancer therapy and
