IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING CHEMISTRY - PART 1
1. Understand How the World Works
Believe
it or not, chemistry is part of our everyday life. We encounter numerous
principles of chemistry without even realizing it. Many of the events that
occur daily are results of chemical reactions. Whenever you eat, drink, or even
breathe air, certain chemical
reactions occur in your body. And without chemistry, we would not be
able to explain how these processes work.
2. Career options
A
great perk of being a chemistry graduate is that you can use your
subject-specific knowledge in many different industries be that pharmaceutical
research, environmental causes, or biochemistry. An undergraduate chemistry
degree will cover all the bases you need to pursue a career in your preferred
area.
3. Chemistry helps explain everything
According to the American Chemical Society, a non-profit organization, “Everything you hear, see, smell, taste, and touch involves chemistry.” Chemistry helps explain things like why leaves change colour in the fall, why baking bread smells so delicious, and why some people are allergic to things like peanuts. Everything that has matter breaks down into chemical building blocks.
