Chemistry is a large part to our lives and is a part of our everyday lives whether we realize it or not. It occurs in everything we do and is the foundation of understanding many things about our Earth, solar system, and beyond. Chemistry is always at work. Three places where the bases of chemistry are found excessively is astronomy, meteorology, and Earth science. People working in or involved in these fields have chemistry as an immense part in their studies and it plays a key role in their discoveries and work. Without the use and comprehension of chemistry, how it works, and how it affects us, our thought processes and knowledge of things such as astronomy, meteorology, and Earth science would be a far cry from our judgment on it today. So clearly, it is vitally important to get a grasp on the way chemistry shapes and molds our world in the present day.
As mentioned, chemistry can be found in many places in Earth science. Probably the most obvious point which can be related between the two is that molecules are the building blocks for absolutely everything existing on the Earth. Molecules make up solids, liquids, and gases. All molecules possess some form of energy and are always moving. They are usually, short, subtle movements not visible to the naked eye. Another way that chemistry in in Earth science is the plate tectonics which are constantly moving around the globe. The numberless amount of molecules inside the plate tectonics use their mechanical energy to shake, move and slowly but surely move around the Earth. The plate tectonics are able to travel and mold because of the results of multiple chemical reactions taking place. An example is the minerals in the metamorphic rock which form the plate tectonics react to e...

...face of the Earth, also. These things can be disastrous. That is why we need to have a knowledge of chemistry in meteorology. In order to be protected and prepared for what the weather can potentially do our communities. Because we understand chemistry, we can find, do tests for, and predict to find these potential threats and we can stay safe. Lastly, a way that chemistry takes it’s toll on our weather and meteorology is pollution in the air. Elements from things such as cars and factories all form toxic gases and can either affect the human body or the atmosphere. Sometimes, it wears away at the ozone layer which protects us from ultraviolet rays. This is another way that with our knowledge of chemistry, we can protect ourselves. Having an education of chemistry in meteorology is clearly important so that we can be prepared for everything that weather throws at us.
Chemists are the specialists in chemistry, that interact with chemical properties, and reactions. The earth is made up of different gases. Some of this gases are needed for life in the planet but other gases can be harmful to the living. Gas’s use in regular quantities are favorable to the earth. The world started to become more advance and had to use more of this gases to produce everyday objects and inventions by men. Little did we knew this chemicals we going to affect us in our life. Chemist Jose Mario Molina actually discovered that chlorofluorocarbons were affecting the ozone layer.
Chemistry is a science that study matter, its properties, and how and why substances combine or separate to form new substances. Chemistry is part of our life. Chemistry is involved since we grow up to everything we do. Chemistry is one of the physical science that helps us describe and explain our world. The chemistry that I will mostly focus is on biochemistry. Biochemistry is the study of chemical process that occurs in living organism. Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabinol could have affects in the chemistry science through the brain, the body, and emotions. Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a very powerful chemical compared to other chemicals. The molecular formula for THC is C21H30O2. Scientific research says that delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol can
Chemistry is not used only in a lab environment, but it is used for every aspect of life. One way to look into a more in-depth view of chemistry is to apply it to a hobby, or something that may personally affect your everyday life. One of the biggest parts of my life and my main hobby is flying. Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to become a pilot. I am currently working towards my private pilot’s license and I am also attending the U.S. Air Force Academy starting in June to study aeronautical engineering. Since flying is such a large aspect of my life and is important to me, I wanted to break it down into an aspect of chemistry. I chose this topic because flying is very important to me and it will continue to be a large part of my life as it will end up being my career in the Air Force. Not only will researching the topic of aviation fuel help me to become a more knowledgeable pilot, but it will also help me to understand more about chemistry and expand on the concepts we have learned this semester. Chemistry is extremely important to planes and pilots. One of the most obvious aspects of flying that deals directly with chemistry is fuel. Without fuel, aircraft would not be able to run. The molecular formula of fuel and the combustion of fuel are just some parts that play into how fuel makes an aircraft run.

In chemistry, we calculate and measure substance to use them in all kind of substance and form every day. It is everywhere in our lives. We use it in all we do, such as cooking cleaning, eating, even in our work force and home. The texts states: (quote) that fuel in our cars with oxygen to make the car move and run, when we cook our food or bleach our hair, chemical reactions take place. (Timberlake, K. C., 01/2014, pg. 211).
What is chemistry? According to the American Chemical Society, chemistry can be described as “the study of matter and the changes it can undergo.” This science has been improved by many amazing scientists, and, because of them, our world have never been more advanced. Rosalind Franklin was one of those scientists, and she most definitely contributed to the science of chemistry.
Greenhouse gasses have a big impact on our atmosphere. These gasses include water vapor, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide. Each greenhouse gas molecule has three or more atoms that are loosely held together and that eventually release the heat energy and it is absorbed by another greenhouse molecule. Many people talk about greenhouse gasses as if they are a bad idea, but they are not a bad thing. Without these gasses the earth would be zero degrees on the surface. However, too many greenhouse gasses can cause higher temperatures in the atmosphere, cause oceans to warm beyond what they should be normally and weather that is unpredictable. The same with fossil fuels that produce a variety of emissions that pollute our planet 's air and water. These pollutants threaten the environment and its
Chemistry is in everything that we do. We need chemistry to survive, and our future depends on it.Without chemistry the world would not be as advanced as it is today. Chemistry and all other sciences are the building blocks of life.

We see our modern world filled with so many advances with technology and science. We usually do not think about science when using a smart phone or google to find information with one click of a button. Do we think about Chemistry when taking an antibiotic medication for an infection? Just about everything involves science and technology, but what would happen if one scientist didn’t discover one theory, a theory that can alter our advance society as we know today. This one man was credit as the founder of chemistry. Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. Chemistry is chiefly concerned with atoms and molecules and their
Though many people fail to realize it, chemistry is a subject essential to everyday life, due to the fact that it is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. But what we must understand is that everything in the universe is composed of matter, hence chemistry is necessary in learning more about the world and universe that we live in. There are many careers and fields affiliated with chemistry that people pursue to learn more about the composition of the universe, but for now, let us examine the logistics of three of these careers. These three careers involving chemistry are geochemistry, environmental chemistry, and chemical engineering.
Chemistry is the most fascinating science to me. Chemistry applies to all things in the universe; living or non-living. Everything is made of elements which are made up of atoms of a certain atomic number. Thereafter I took AP Chemistry, I knew I had to choose a career in the field of chemistry. I understand and enjoy learning about chemistry. Chemistry is important, interesting, and ever expanding. Therefore, I must pursue a career in Chemistry.

Throughout my school career I have always loved chemistry. In Chemistry there was always a sense that there was more, there was always something new and exciting to be discovered and theories to be proven (or even disproven). Chemistry was the main subject with a real practical aspect to it during school and it is this, along with my genuine fascination with the subject, which fuels my desire to study it further.
ITRODUCTION As it becomes evident from historical observations, research is the creation of the curiosity which is caused by the human nature. A lot of the discoveries that occurred in the ancient years were achieved by luck. After that they acquired experience and skills to explore more and more for new achievements. The acute interest in discovering new methods and ideas gave answers to questions which faced the society of each period.
