Chemistry and technology have made a big difference in the way we live and see things in this time. Decades ago technology was not a major part or even part of chemistry. Technology has made chemistry more efficient and accurate. But it was not always easy to tell how chemistry helped or for what reasons it was used for. Society’s life before technology was involved was much more complicated. Well for us it would be, because of what we have now. But society did not always have the right equipment. For the chemists that there was a long time ago chemistry was very important to them. Chemistry is so fundamental to our world chemistry plays a very important role in everyone’s lives. Back then it was a problem identifying about health, materials, and the energy that we use without the advancements of technology. Society before technology was not able it progress as fast as it does .Medicine was not able to made as it is today, today people are not even needed to produce it. Machines can do it themselves now a day. Chemicals were not that easily identified also they were a little more difficult to be tested. Their results were not as easily described and not always accurate. They had a bigger struggle on how to do things but they worked with what they had. Also when someone came up with a new type of virus or some symptom or something that needed medical attention, was complicated for them to try and figure what it was or if it was the weather change. But thankfully technology has been improved to help us live better and in a safe environment.

...hat everything will be made for us. Humans would not have to do any work the machines would do all of our experiments and work. Also I think that medication in the forms of pills and liquids will no longer be needed. Instead shots will be given to cure any form of issue. As our technology improves we will have more advances in medicine. Not only advances in the medical areas would be improved. I also think that climate changes might be able to be predicted very accurate and maybe even be predicted weeks before the current event. Also I think that experiments will be made on other places, other planets, and even below sea level to try and find other living organisms, and maybe even fossils of extinct dinosaurs, maybe even bodies frozen or an actual body. Mostly I think that our whole perspective of seeing and living the way we live will change even before we know it.
In life and society as most of you know, chemistry is involved in everything in this entire world including; animals, plants, and even food! Although most people don’t like chemistry due to all the equations and “Stoichiometry”, it plays a significant role in everyday life. Thanks to many scientists in the past, we can now use the knowledge of their theories and postulates to find new technology and other scientific advancements to help the evolvement of many organisms in this world.
Brief History Jöns Jacob Berzelius, a physician by trade, first coined the term "organic chemistry" in 1807 for the study of compounds derived from biological sources. Up through the early 19th century, naturalists and scientists observed critical differences between compounds that were derived from living things and those that were not. Chemists of the period noted that there seemed to be an essential yet inexplicable difference between the properties of the two different types of compounds. The vital force theory (sometimes called "vitalism") was therefore proposed (and widely accepted) as a way to explain these differences. Vitalism proposed that there was a something called a "vital force" which existed within organic material but did not exist in any inorganic materials. {text:bookmark-start} {text:bookmark-end} Friedrich Wöhler is widely regarded as a pioneer in organic chemistry as a result of his synthesizing of the biological compound urea (a component of urine in many animals) utilizing what is now called "the Wöhler synthesis." Wöhler mixed silver or lead cyanate with ammonium nitrate; this was supposed to yield ammonium cyanate as a result of an exchange reaction, according to Berzelius's dualism theory. Wöhler, however, discovered that the end product of this reaction is not ammonium cyanate (NH4OCN), an inorganic salt, but urea ((NH2)2CO), a biological compound. (Furthermore, heating ammonium cyanate turns it into urea.) Faced with this result, Berzelius had to concede that (NH2)2CO and NH4OCN were isomers. Until this discovery in the year 1828, it was widely believed by chemists that organic substances could only be formed under the influence of the "vital force" in the bodies of animals and plants. Wöhler's synthesis dramatically proved that view to be false. Organic chemistry focuses on carbon and following movement of the electrons in carbon chains and rings, and also how electrons are shared with other carbon atoms and heteroatoms. Organic chemistry is primarily concerned with the properties of covalent bonds and non-metallic elements, though ions and metals do play critical roles in some reactions. The applications of organic chemistry are myriad, and include all sorts of plastics, dyes, flavorings, scents, detergents, explosives, fuels and many, many other products. Read the ingredient list for almost any kind of food that you eat — or even your shampoo bottle — and you will see the handiwork of organic chemists listed there. {text:bookmark-start} {text:bookmark-end} Major Advances in the Field of Organic Chemistry Of course no description of a text should be without at least a mention of Antoine Laurent Lavoisier.
Chemists are the specialists in chemistry, that interact with chemical properties, and reactions. The earth is made up of different gases. Some of this gases are needed for life in the planet but other gases can be harmful to the living. Gas’s use in regular quantities are favorable to the earth. The world started to become more advance and had to use more of this gases to produce everyday objects and inventions by men. Little did we knew this chemicals we going to affect us in our life. Chemist Jose Mario Molina actually discovered that chlorofluorocarbons were affecting the ozone layer.
In today's hectic world people work longer hours and utilize more technology and energy more than ever. The impact that this is having on the environment is substantial in both negative and positive ways. It is hard to deny the benefits modern technology has produced for the world, in industry and in everyday life. With more and more technological breakthroughs, there have been many positive ecological impacts, but the negative impacts are almost overwhelming. A Perfect example would be the deforestation of our rain forests.
Chemistry is a branch of natural science that deals principally with the properties of substances, the changes they undergo, and the natural laws that describe these changes. (University of Idaho, 2014) Molecules, as small as they seem, is in the food that we eat and present in our daily lives. Today, scientists would likely know about the history of chemistry but not how chemistry has impacted history. Many would not wonder if these molecules go beyond the chemistry concepts that they have learned. For example, would the world have been different if piperine (molecule) present in pepper had not led to the discovery of the United States? The interesting fact is that molecules have and will continue to shape the world today. In this book, the authors explain in detail how 17 specific molecules had a significant impact on the history of the world. On a whole, this book is very intriguing and very suitable for chemistry lovers as well as the general public.
Since Lewis was not known for writing novels, there are very few sources that can be drawn from here. There is one book that goes into detail about Lewis’s life and findings. It is titled “Cathedrals of Science: The Personalities and Rivalries That Made Modern Chemistry”and it is by Patrick Coffey. The book was published in 2008 by Oxford University Press, making it quite modern for a source on early twentieth century scientists. Coffey was born in 1945, just a year before Lewis’s death, but he has spoken to many who had personal experience with the scientist. The same year as it’s publication, it won the PROSE award for the best chemistry book.
Our knowledge of chemistry, and the many ways that it surrounds us has helped us better understand the world we live in and the ways in which we can use chemistry to better our world, and improve our exploration of it.
The Nobel Prize is a set of annual international awards bestowed in a number of categories by Swedish and Norwegian committees in recognition of academic, cultural and scientific advances. Chemistry is one of the many categories of Nobel Prizes awarded to chemists that have dedicated life changing research in their perspective fields. In 2013, the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to three theoretical chemists, Michael Levitt, Martin Karplus, and Arieh Warshe, who developed a multiscale computer to predict complex chemical reactions
Every day, scientists are always looking into how to make technologies better. Inventions from the past have been innovated to work better, and faster than they have ever been before making things easier and quick to discover and work on. One of these inventions has been the X-ray. It was first discovered in 1895 by a German physics professor, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, who performed the first human X-ray on his wife’s hand. The X-ray has been around for a while now, and a plethora of changes have been made for the X-ray to work its best. The X-ray has brought many advantages into the medical field and has help save many lives.

There are many ways to examine the subject of alchemy, including alchemy as a source of symbolism, psychology, and mysticism. It has also been an influence on the world view of various writers, artist, and musicians. The focus of this report is alchemy as a pre-chemistry, which gave a new impulse towards the preparation of medicinal remedies and also was a major influence on today's scientific investigations.Alchemy is an ancient art, practiced in the Middle Ages. The fundamental concept of alchemy stemmed from Aristotle's doctrine that all things tend to reach perfection.
...ree careers make sure that every day activities do not lead to the degradation of the environment. For these reasons, it is clear that chemistry is beneficial to the way of mankind.
Chemistry is important and surrounds us in our everyday lives. People use chemistry quite often without even realizing it. An important term in chemistry is to know what term matter means. Matter is something that occupies space. People are involved with chemistry as soon as they are born and also experience it every morning when they wake up. As people, we experience chemistry when we walk, eat, sleep, breathe, drink, and many other things that we do in our everyday life.
Chemistry, defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary as “a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and with the transformations that they undergo.”2. It first started as the ancient art of alchemy a set of practices that encompassed elements of various sciences like chemistry, astronomy, and medicine. It is often linked to the quest to turn lead or another common starting metals into metals like gold and other things like the creation of an elixir of immortality and the creation of a medicine that could cure any disease. The transition of alchemy to chemistry started with an alchemist by the name of Jābir ibn Hayyān when he introduced an approach that is systematic and experimental in his work contrasting other alchemists whose works were largely allegorical and often unintelligible. This influenced others into using the new empirical method and eventually reshape the old alchemical traditions into a scientific discipline, this discipline went on to discover new concepts like the law of conservation of mass, and the atomic theory. Today chemistry widely studied and has numerous modules regarding the topic.
