== == The distinction between hard and soft sciences is commonly misconceived as a measure of how "easy" or understandable it is to non-scientists. However, it's actually refering to the accuracy of the science itself. Hard sciences rely on empirical and - most importantly - falsifiable evidence. The emphasis is strongly on the importance of objectivity in all aspects of study. Biology slots neatly into this category - everything you study in biology (however simple or 'common sense' it may appear) relies on accurate, objective and empirical evidence. An example of a "soft science", in the true meaning of the phrase, would be psychology. While there's an attempt to maintain objectivity in some psychological approaches, the nature of what's being studied (the mind) inevitably lends itself to an element of subjectivity. Psychologists tend to vary on their approach to study (whether cognitive, humanistic, etc.) whereas biologists - as all scientists - are generally unified in the scientific approach.
No science can be specifically called 'soft', however some are easyer at a-level level than others. Human Biology is an example of this,whereas physics is probably the least soft.
its a hard science :)
there are lots and lots there are natural science,astronome,and 100's more there are -Physics -Chemistry - Biology - Astronomy - Ecology - Forensic -Marine - Social Science -
Social sciences are studies of how people interact. Chemistry- like physics and biology- is part of the "hard" sciences.
Chemistry is considered to be a physical science.
chemistry or physics but mainly chemistry
Chemistry, biology and science are the main categories but there are many sub catergories eg. Agricultural science, bio chemistry, marine biology, nuero science the list goes on!
Actually, it is a science. However, when most people think of science, they think of the "hard" sciences; such as physics, biology or chemistry. Criminology is referred to as a "soft" science, similar to psychology, sociology, anthropology or political science.
Chemistry is considered one of the physical sciences and a "hard" science.
In the sense of "hardness" that's meant by the terms "hard science" vs. "soft science", chemistry is definitely on the hard side of pharmacology (or any other biological science). If you're asking if it's a harder subject than pharmacology ... not really, especially since you'd need to have already taken several basic chemistry classes to even have any hope of understanding a pharmacology class.

Hard science is difficult to solve and needs more time to dedicate to it to solve, in the other hand soft science is easier and needs less time to dedicate to it. Hard science uses mathematics to quantify the physical world, and to make predictions based on mathematics. Soft sciences rely almost exclusively on observations without much in the way of mathematics to back up their "facts."
Social sciences are studies of how people interact. Chemistry- like physics and biology- is part of the "hard" sciences.
Chemistry is a part of science.
The desire to do science and have a paying job but the inability to do physics, chemistry or another "hard" science.
Yes, because chemistry is a science.
Criminology is a wide field which encompasses MANY different and varied career fields and disciplines. While it cannot be described as a "hard" science such as mathermatics or chemistry, it certainly qualifies as a a"soft" science similar to psychiatry or psychology.
the way chemistry develops as science is because its chemistry and it is one of the scientific rules.
Science is often thought to have two major divisions, which would be the hard sciences, such as physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc., and the soft sciences such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc. The terms hard and soft, in this case, do not refer to the relative degree of difficulty of understanding or advancing those sciences, but they refer rather to the mathematical precision and certainty of the resulting data and conclusions. Physics tends to be much more definite and precise than psychology is.
