Chemistry is a physical science that studies the composition, structure and properties of the building blocks of all physical objects — matter. Because it investigates the most basic aspects of matter, the study of chemistry is central to other scientific disciplines including biology, geology and physics. Our chemistry students learn about the properties of atoms, chemical bonds, chemical compounds, chemical interactions and formation of different substances through chemical reactions.
