Understanding Chemistry in Perspective

Understanding Chemistry in PerspectiveThere is a common misunderstanding about chemistry. You often hear people saying things like, 'chemistry is a big mystery' or, 'chemistry is a big science.' Well, there's more to chemistry than that.Chemists have a whole field of study called molecular biology. Molecular biology looks at how different elements interact with each other and with the environment. This can be used to understand how nature works.Even without looking at chemistry, you can see why chemistry is an important science. It's used in everything from space probes to car engines. One of the most important parts of chemistry is the periodic table. In this way, we all recognize the various elements by name.Unfortunately, the world has heard a lot of bad news lately. Recently, we've heard about global warming, antibiotic resistance, and pandemics. You can't help but wonder if we're heading for a disaster or if we'll be able to get through it. When I read things like that, I want t o cry. Why is this happening?I have no idea how long it will take for these issues to blow over and people's numbers to return to normal. However, I do know that we have to make some changes in order to survive as a species. We need to do things differently. The solution might not be as exciting as we think, but it is certainly possible.How exactly is chemistry relevant to the life of the planet? Well, not everyone realizes this, but many of the chemicals we use to make things can harm the environment. These chemicals can be poisonous to humans. As a result, companies that make the chemicals are supposed to test them and report any contaminants, but unfortunately many of them aren't doing so.The American Chemical Society has developed a program called 'Energy for All: Critical Paths for Human Well-Being' that attempts to reduce the reliance on chemicals in order to help our lives. It's been instrumental in the promotion of the new program. That's just one of the ways that chemistry plays a part in the fight against the crisis. One of the biggest keys is through the periodic table, which include all the elements, but it is not complete.
