• Chemistry is all about the nature of all mater around us Air, Water, Metals, Plastics, Drugs…

• It is all about how they react and how they change…

Chemistry Around Us

FromFireworks to Space shuttles..Medicine to Agriculture..Computers to iPods..Fuel for Vehicles to Oil to Cook..Industrial Operations to Cooking..Refrigeration units to Radios..

Chemistry Rules them all..

History of Chemistry•The practice of Chemistry started thousands

of years ago, but not as a Science. It was primarily directed to turn all kinds of substances into Gold by early Chemists, who were known as Alchemists.

•The word “Chemistry” is thus derived from the word “Alchemy”.

•The Alchemists made important contributions to Chemistry. They developedmany techniques used bymodern chemists likedistillation, filtration, etc..

The real purpose of chemistry stems from the fact that it serves as a common interface betweenpractically all other science.

Human endeavors have driven the science of Chemistry from making

of dye topetrochemicals, from designing fabrics

to space suits..

Chemical Synthesis• Chemists create things through purposeful

execution of chemical reactions.• These products are synthesized from

simpler, more readily available startingmaterials..

The Synthesis is not only carried in synthetic condition but also by use of plants and microbes..

Why learning

Chemistry is Important?

Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and

hunger

Goal 2: Achieve universal primary

education

Goal 3: Promote gender equality and

empower women

Goal 4: Reduce child mortality

Goal 5: Improve maternal health

Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other

diseases

Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability

Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for

Development

CHEMISTRY is vital to achieving these goals!

United Nations Millennium Goals

IYC 2011

Our understanding of the fundamental nature of our world is grounded in chemistry. Molecular transformations are basic to production of foodstuffs, medicines, fuels and materials – essentially all manufactured and extracted products. We will rely on this science to maintain a sustainable, wholesome environment for all the earth. IYC 2011 is a unique opportunity for everyone to celebrate the central contributions of chemistry.

Thank YouEnjoy the Chemical Life..!!
