Chemistry is probably the core science and it is intrinsically connected with other sciences. It is the fundamental science being concerned with matter and how it can be changed through chemical reactions. It examines the structure and properties of a substance; it is a physical science and often involves laboratory experiments, using a range of substances to demonstrate the properties of a material, and how it can be altered through interaction with other substances.
It is about atoms and molecules and a conglomeration of matter; it looks at their structure and determines how they are formed. Physics also investigates matter but not in such a specialized way. There are various strains of chemistry which have developed as specialisms; such as organic chemistry (the study of the structure, properties, composition and reactions of organic compounds), analytical chemistry (the analysis of material samples) and neurochemistry (the study of neurochemicals and the role they play in the nervous system).
Chemistry is involved in pharmacology and the development and manufacture of medicines. It has huge implications for human health and therefore overlaps with biology, the third key science along with chemistry and physics; it applies in relation to the origin of all life and is displayed in the process of photosynthesis.
Chemistry also relates to other natural sciences such as astronomy and geology. It originated as alchemy which had been practiced in various parts of the world including the Middle East. People who practice chemistry usually also practice one or more other sciences and they may specialize in one of them.
