computer ------------------------------------------------- Computational chemistry From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry that uses principles of computer science to assist in solving chemical problems. It uses the results of theoretical chemistry‚ incorporated into efficient computer programs‚ to calculate the structures and properties of molecules and solids. Its necessity arises from the well-known fact that apart from relatively recent results

Everything you need to know about hydrocarbons INTRODUCTION: organic chemistry Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The element carbon has a special role in chemistry because it bonds with other carbon atoms to give a vast array of molecules. The varity of molecules is so great that we find organic compounds in many common products we use‚ such as gasoline‚ medicines‚ shampoos‚ plastic bottles‚ and perfumes. The food we eat is composed of different

ALCHEMY TO CHEMISTRY Can we say that alchemy and chemistry are two different things? Actually no‚ we can’t. Alchemy is the pioneer of today’s modern chemistry. As the time passed alchemy has changed and developed to form Chemistry. Therefore we shouldn’t think that they are two different subjects. In this article‚ first of all you will learn how alchemy was found and evolved .After that how it transitioned from alchemy to chemistry and finally the similarities and differences between them.

Importance of Chemistry Chemistry is an important branch of science. Chemistry deals with the matter that form our environment and the transformation that the matter undergoes. Chemistry is therefore‚ useful in understanding the changes taking place in the constituents of the environment and the resulting advantages. Chemistry is connected with composition‚ structure and properties of the matter. In fact it is a science of atoms and molecules. Organic chemistry‚ inorganic chemistry‚ physical chemistry‚ analytical

Green Chemistry Many companies all over the world produce chemicals for their products that are harmful to the environment‚ human health‚ and to all living species. Green Chemistry is the use of chemistry for the prevention of chemical pollution to the environment by using chemicals that are benign‚ or not harmful. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that the mission of Green Chemistry is‚ "To promote innovative chemical technologies that reduce or eliminate the use or generation

home. I decided to choose a different major which happened to be chemistry. I convinced myself that after all science is science. I decided that once I finished the chemistry major‚ I would support myself to study the laboratory science. I worked very hard in chemistry as I was aiming to graduate with honors. However‚ during the course of my study‚ I learned my things‚ which left me very surprised since I did not think that chemistry could contain so much information. In fact‚ it came to a point that

Chemistry plays an important part in studying Biology. It answers some questions that Biology could not explain alone. Questions like: How does an organism convert foods for energy? How do plants use sunlight and water into all the things that cells needed to grow and reproduce? How does the basic unit of life passed through generation to the next? Here are some contributions of Chemistry in Biology: • Within atomic theory‚ chemistry contributes towards biology in the understanding of atoms

Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear science is the study of sub-atomic particles and their function in various subjects. A nucleon is the collective name for the two components of the atomic nucleus: the neutron and the proton. Isotopes are any of the different forms of an element each having different mass numbers‚ which give the total number of nucleons. The major fundamentals of nuclear chemistry include radioactive decay‚ the nature of fission and fusion‚ and mass defect. The decomposition of the

Prehistoric Times - Beginning of the Christian Era (Black Magic) * 1700 BC King Hammurabi’s reign over Babylon In ancient Babylon King Hammmurabbi began to classify metals such as gold ‚ iron‚ and copper. He also gave certain materials higher value than others‚ depending on the potential of the material. Known metals were recorded and listed in conjunction with heavenly bodies. 430 BC Democritus of ancient Greece Democritus and the atom: c.420 BC In the late 5th century BC Democritus
