IMPORTANCE OF CHEMISTRY IN OUR DAILY LIFE - PART 2
6. Studying Chemistry Allows You To Better
Understand Other Sciences
Just
like many other sciences,
chemistry incorporates multiple branches, each focusing on a particular aspect
of chemistry. Studying chemistry enables you to understand different branches
of chemistry, including inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry,
biochemistry, physical
chemistry, environmental chemistry, and many more. Besides, if you ever
decide to get a degree in biology or medicine, you will need to take chemistry
as a prerequisite. Therefore, studying chemistry not only educates you in that
particular field but also prepares you to be more successful in other related
courses.
7. Chemistry is at the heart of cooking. If
you understand the
chemical reactions involved in making baked
goods rise or neutralizing acidity or thickening sauces, chances are
you'll be a better cook.
8. A command of chemistry can
help keep you safe! You'll
know which
household chemicals are dangerous to keep together or mix and which
can be used safely.
9. Chemistry helps people develop strong
analytical skills
Like
all science, the study of chemistry involves specific skills. Students of
chemistry learn to pay close attention to detail, solve problems, analyse data,
and communicate verbally and in writing. These are skills easily transferred to
other fields beyond the realm of science.
10. Transferable skills
When you study a degree in chemistry, you’ll develop plenty of useful skills. While your programme will be tailored to give you the skills you need for a career in chemistry, the skills you gain will also be useful in non-chemistry related industries. These can include Researching, Critical thinking, Spoken and written English skills, Teamwork, Problem solving, Data analysis.
11. Basic knowledge of chemistry helps you to read and understand product labels.
