Chemistry For Me...

For me...

Chemistry is a compulsory subject for science stream student (u cant drop chemistry but u can choose either biology or physics in Form4,5,6 and matriculation);

Chemistry is something to do with handling, testing, synthesizing and playing around with the chemicals (especially the dangerous chemicals!);

Chemistry is the major subject in pharmacy course (drug structure and properties, even pharmacology also involved chemistry..);

Chemistry is more dangerous than biology and physics (who knows by mixing this and that, or exposing a substance to the air in the lab may cause explosion!)


Chemistry enables the chemists to synthesize many substances and products which are useful and necessary to our daily lives (like medicines, food, clothes...)

Chemistry is all about laboratory works (assays, identification tests, quantitative analysis...)


Chemist is always involved with R&D;

Chemistry explains everything in our surroundings (how the light can on..water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen..why the fruit ripen..what is present in the air...)

Chemistry is about non-living substances (particles, matters, atoms, electrons...)

Chemistry can be divided into organic chemistry (deals with carbon containing compounds), inorganic chemistry, biochemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry;

Chemistry enables the scientist to create something new from other alredy existed substances by mixing, reaction..

Chemistry explains the properties of the substances (why diamond is so hard, why the boiling point of water is 100 degree celcius...);

Chemistry provides the methods or ways for people to test and analyse the safety of a product (quality control, qualitative analysis of drugs or food...)

Chemistry knowledge can cause harm to the public safety where somebody may misuse the knowledge (synthesis of bomb, chemical weapons and radiation pollution in wars..synthesis and misuse of pesticides to commit suicide..)


Chemistry needs a lot of memorising and drawing equation and calculations (moles, molarity...)


Chemistry is not my favourite subject (due to the lab work)

As a conclusion, we are surrounded by chemicals in our lives and with this the role of chemistry in our daily lives is undeniable...no matter how i dislike chemistry subject, i have no choice but to take it (since i have chose pharmacy course...or perhaps i might get rid of it by changing course? =X)
