Chemistry is the study of all the "stuff" in the universe and how it interacts. Chemistry relates to you because your body is one big chemical reaction going on all the time. Every time you move your arm, trillions and trillions of molecules are reacting to produce the energy necessary to move it, and just as many charged particles are moving around from one part of your muscle to another to cause it to move.

Knowing about chemistry can help you to know what's in your drinking water, what is being added to your food or what drug the doctor is giving you and how it affects your body. Even if you don't learn all these things by heart, a knowledge of the basic vocabulary of the science of chemistry will help you to be able to look up and understand the answers to your questions.

How does electricity relate to chemistry?

Electricity and chemistry are closely related because many chemical reactions involve the movement of electrons, which is the basis of electricity. In electrochemistry, electricity can be used to induce redox reactions, generate energy in batteries, or influence the behavior of ions in solution. Additionally, electrolysis is a process that uses electricity to drive non-spontaneous chemical reactions.


How does green chemistry relate to inorganic chemistry?

Green chemistry, also called sustainable chemistry, is a chemical philosophy encouraging the design of products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Whereas environmental chemistry is the chemistry of the natural environment, and of pollutant chemicals in nature, green chemistry seeks to reduce and prevent pollution at its source. In 1990 the Pollution Prevention Act was passed in the United States. This act helped create a modus operandi for dealing with pollution in an original and innovative way. It aims to avoid problems before they happen. As a chemical philosophy, green chemistry applies to organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and even physical chemistry. While green chemistry seems to focus on industrial applications, it does apply to any chemistry choice. Click chemistry is often cited as a style of chemical synthesis that is consistent with the goals of green chemistry. The focus is on minimizing the hazard and maximizing the efficiency of any chemical choice. It is distinct from environmental chemistry which focuses on chemical phenomena in the environmen
