Chemistry has had a large impact on medicine as we know it today. In fact medicine would have never gotten as advanced as it has today without chemistry to help it out. Everything that medicine does is based on chemistry at its core. A long time ago when there was not nearly as much knowledge of chemistry and the medicine was much more basic as well. All of medicine is made of different elements in one way or another. Chemistry will probably also have impacts on the discoveries in medicine yet to come.
The History of Chemistry is ancient, starting at 1000 B.C to present time. Chemistry has evolved drastically over the centuries. the first civilization to take over chemistry were the Egyptians and Babylonians founded practical knowledge concerning the arts of metallurgy, pottery and dyes, but didn't develop a systematic theory.
In chemistry we learn about the elements that make up compounds and, we study them. In biology we learn about what makes up living things. These living things contain some of the elements we learn about in chemistry. The four most common elements found in living things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. In chemistry I have learned that these four atoms can bond together to form different compounds such as water, carbon dioxide and ammonia. In biology I have learned that these all of these compounds have an effect on living things. With our knowledge of elements and compounds and our knowledge of the chemical processes we can take biochemistry to the extreme.
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.
In the book, “What’s cooking in Chemistry,” the author states with a powerful standpoint that many ways of chemistry is involved in the kitchen to help chefs and other people succeed in whatever they feel best to require on their path of success. After all everything in this entire world is made of atoms. This includes everything including food, humans, plants, the atmosphere and the ultraviolet rays that constantly attempt to penetrate the protection of the clouds in the air. Published in 2009, the authors; Hubertus P. Bell, Tim Feuerstein, Carlos E. Guntner, Soren Holsken, and J. Klaas Lohmann manage to organize the book in a format where they insert the person who described the explanation of the use of chemistry and listed the recipe for people to use in order to build a strong mental fortitude of an explanatory of an image that helps one unlock potential in science and technology throughout chemistry.
What is a medicine substance that many people go to when they are getting a runny nose, bad cough, or a headache? Vicks created a substance around the 1960s that helped with these types of symptoms. Nyquil is the main thing people will use when they get these sick symptoms. The history of Nyquil and its relations to chemistry are substantial. There are four questions asked to relate Nyquil to Chemistry and they are: What was society like before it, How did natural resources limit or advance it, how is Nyquil affecting society today, and how will it affect our future?
Chemistry has not only fueled our daily lives in this one small aspect, but in millions of different ways. Even though I do not particularly enjoy the field of chemistry I am extremely grateful that some people out there do. My paper, which focuses on the use of a material saving lives at this very moment, is a great example of chemistry working in a way to our advantage. Chemistry has helped families remain intact, people come together, and lives to be much simpler. The correlation between chemistry and technology has made our lives be better. Without this correlation I do not know what we would be like. Would we still be walking everywhere? Or would we still not have electricity? Would people still even exist? These are not unanswered questions. We see the answers around us everyday through the discoveries in the field of chemistry.
In conclusion the history of chemistry has helped in the development of the periodic table, the x-ray machine, and simple telescopes. The cool thing about all that is that each of these discoveries are still around today and they just keep getting better. Each discovery helps improver every living creature’s life. Chemistry is life, and without chemistry there is no life. This is a very powerful statement, and I believe it holds to be true. Chemistry is found in pretty much every aspect of life.
In society today it is very rare to find someone who does not own a cell phone. There are ten year old children running around with iPhones. Cell phones have become such an important part of society. They have come along way with the advancements made in technology to allow these phones to do more than you would think possible. We now not only use them to contact people, but use them for social media, to take pictures, surf the web, and get information at the touch of our fingers. It is crazy to think that at one point there were no cell phones. Without the use of chemistry we would not have the cell phones that we use today. Chemistry is defined by the Holt Modern Chemistry textbook as the scientific study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Chemistry is responsible for the batteries that are in all our our cell phones. Without these batteries there would be no phone. The battery is the main power source of the phone and without it then the phone would not work.
Chemistry is a branch of natural science that deals principally with the properties of substances, the changes they undergo, and the natural laws that describe these changes. (University of Idaho, 2014) Molecules, as small as they seem, is in the food that we eat and present in our daily lives. Today, scientists would likely know about the history of chemistry but not how chemistry has impacted history. Many would not wonder if these molecules go beyond the chemistry concepts that they have learned. For example, would the world have been different if piperine (molecule) present in pepper had not led to the discovery of the United States? The interesting fact is that molecules have and will continue to shape the world today. In this book, the authors explain in detail how 17 specific molecules had a significant impact on the history of the world. On a whole, this book is very intriguing and very suitable for chemistry lovers as well as the general public.
