21st Century Chemistry: Challenges and Career Opportunities

                    As Chemistry is the study of the nature, properties and composition of matter, and how these undergo changes, it is referred to as the Central Science. Chemistry is the science about basic structure of substances, i.e what they are made of, how they interact and what role they play in living things. Everything we hear, see, smell, taste and touch involves chemistry and chemicals (matter). Chemistry plays a great role even in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the clothes we wear or imagine anything what we use in everyday life right from early morning to late night before we go to sleep or even while sleeping one may be using mosquito repellent. Chemistry and its innovations surrounds, envelops and touches our lives in all possible forms accepting global changes creating enormous challenges relating to human health ,energy, environmental pollution and scarce natural resources so one can visualise the vari...
