Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 5QAP
This textbook provides a specific definition of chemistry: the study of the materials of which the universe is made and the transformations that these materials undergo. Obviously, such a general definition has to be very broad and nonspecific. From your point of view al this lime, how wouldyoudefine chemistry? In your mind, what are “chemicals”? What do “chemists” do?
