Chemistry
Chemists dig deep. They begin with the elements that make up all matter and break them down into tiny atoms. They analyse what the atoms are, how they change state, and how they react when they mix.
INSIDE AN ATOM
Even though an atom is tiny it has even smaller things inside it - protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons combine to form the atom's nucleus. Electrons fill the space
around the nucleus.
CHEMISTRY IN ACTION
In ancient time, people used the natural materials around them, such as wood and stone, to make objects, Since then, scientists have discovered thousands of chemicals, some of which can be used to make new materials.
HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
We use lots of chemicals in our homes from the paint on our walls to the shampoo for our hair
BIOCHEMISTRY
This looks at chemical processes inside living things or affecting them.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
This branch of chemistry focuses on carbon - based compounds and their uses.
MATERIALS SCIENCE
This science uses physics and chemistry to create new materials.
ENGINEERING
Engineers use their knowledge of materials to design things.
STRUCTURE OF AN ATOM
Some particles in the atom are electrically charged. the protons in the nucleus are positively charged and the orbiting electrons are negatively charged. There are always equal numbers of protons and electrons.
