Chemistry is the study of matter, its composition and properties; it investigates how the substances that compose matter react, combine and transform. As the Father of Modern Chemistry Antoine Lavoisier put it, “In nature nothing is lost; nothing is created; everything is transformed.” Understanding how matter “is transformed” is crucial for science, making chemistry one of the backbones of all science and technology.
