Chemistry

Chemistry is primarily concerned with the way that small particles interact with other small particles, these sets of atoms are then considered molecules. These molecules have different reactions to other molecules and can lead to some interesting outcomes, (acids, popping of hydrogen, magnetism, fuels, poison). Chemistry was the branch of science where people tried to change materials, to hopefully make better materials.

OC61 understand that chemistry has an important role in pharmacy, medicine and the food industry.

Chemistry is primarily concerned with the way that atoms join to other atoms, these sets of atoms are then considered molecules.

Chemicals are all substances that we take for medicine.

Also Paints, weapons (flame throwers), fire extinguishers.
