Chemistry is the study of materials; what they are made of, how they interact with each other and their surroundings and the role they play in living things. Chemistry occupies a central position in science, linking disciplines from Mathematics to Medicine and affects every aspect of our lives. In fact the benefits of Chemistry are so numerous and all-pervading, that we often take them for granted. Our clothes, the paper we write on, the food we eat, even the celebratory drink when exams are over, all have been improved by people studying Chemistry.
