WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chemistry

Chemistry

Chemistry, a branch of physical science, is the study of the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. Chemistry is chiefly concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms - for example, the properties of the chemical bonds formed between atoms to create chemical compounds. As well as this, interactions including atoms and other phenomena - electrons and various forms of energy—are considered, such as photochemical reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions, changes in phases of matter, and separation of mixtures. Finally, properties of matter such as alloys or polymers are considered. Chemistry is sometimes called "the central science" because it bridges other natural sciences like physics, geology and biology with each other. Chemistry is a branch of physical science but distinct from physics. The etymology of the word chemistry has been much disputed. The origin of chemistry can be traced to certain practices, known as alchemy, which had been practiced for several millennia in various parts of the world, particularly the Middle East.

Definition of chemistry in the English dictionary

The first definition of chemistry in the dictionary is the composition, properties, and reactions of a particular substance. Other definition of chemistry is the nature and effects of any complex phenomenon. Chemistry is also a reaction, taken to be instinctual, between two persons.
