Chemistry. This is a subject that deals with the study of matter, substances, elements, its properties, how does substances combine, etc. However, the fun fact is, we as common people have a perception that the chemists are the white-coated scientists blending different substances in the lab. But, the fact is every one of us is a chemist in either way in our daily lives.
Understanding the basic fundamentals of Chemistry is a principal part of all the students’ lives.
Chemistry is divided into five branches. They are – Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry. There are the 5 areas of study in chemistry. Each branch has its own importance and scope of learning.
Chemistry can create magic around us. Though the marvels are innumerable, indeed. The chemists are the magicians who are capable of turning scrap products into a fruitful one.
Chemistry is a vast and comprehensive subject. We require this subject to study Mineralogy, Technology and many more. Hence, it is a mandatory subject of study for all the students in their elementary level of schooling. It is one of the most important subjects to study, learn and understand the basic concepts. However, a few students find it difficult in comprehending the chapters. For an instance, he/she might find it difficult in understanding the Mole concept. This article is a ready reckoner guide for all the students who are aspiring to score high in their Chemistry examinations.
