Ronald Breslow What is chemistry? Chemistry is the science that tries to understand the properties of substances and the changes that substances undergo. It is concerned with substances that occur naturally the minerals of the earth, the gases of the air, the water and salts of the seas, the chemicals found in living creatures and also with new substances created by humans. It is concerned with natural changes, the burning of a tree that has been struck by lightning, the chemical changes that are central to life and also with new transformations invented and created by chemists. What do chemists do?
