Chemistry underpins everything in our modern lifestyle. For example, it is chemistry that enables us to convert crude oil into petrol, plastics and fibres. There are few things that we use which have not, at some stage been made, processed or monitored by chemists. The chemical and pharmaceutical industries are two of the largest employers in the manufacturing industries. Chemists are also employed in related areas such as biotechnology and electronics, as well as many other areas. Employers and universities recognise the value of training in logical thought, numerical and communications skills and the general science education that Chemistry provides. Chemistry course explores the fundamental principles that form the basis of chemistry such as atomic structure, bonding, periodicity and an introduction to organic chemistry. It also looks at the applications of these principles and develops the concepts and principles introduced through topics such as equilibria, polymeers, aromatic chemistry, thermodynamics, energetic chemistry and inorganic chemistry.
