Chemistry is the study of the interaction between matter and energy. There are several branches of chemistry such as inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry and analytical chemistry. Chemistry has been in use since 1000 B.C. Ancient chemistry laid down the path for modern chemistry. Chemistry plays a significant part in curing diseases, solving environmental issues and developing new technologies.
