The Science of Chemistry: The Science that Reveals the Mysteries of Nature

-



Chemistry is the science that analyses the structure, properties, composition and reactions of matter. Chemistry, one of the basic building blocks of nature, is of great importance in many fields and affects many aspects of our daily lives.


The main purpose of chemistry is to understand how matter behaves. The structure of atoms and molecules, how elements and compounds are formed, how these compounds come together and how chemical reactions take place are some of the main research areas of chemistry. This knowledge is applied in many fields from pharmaceutical industry to food technology, from energy production to environmental protection.



The history of chemistry is as old and rich as the history of humanity. Since ancient times, people have begun to discover and use various substances. However, chemistry gained more importance as a scientific discipline in the 17th and 18th centuries. Modern chemistry has been shaped and developed with the contributions of great scientists such as Antoine Lavoisier, Dmitri Mendeleev, Marie Curie.



The impact of chemistry in daily life cannot be ignored. The synthesis of chemical substances, the production of medicines, food processing technologies, energy production and storage, the development of materials, the control of environmental pollution and many other fields play a major role in chemistry. For example, many products such as cleaning agents, cosmetics, pesticides and fertilisers that we use in our homes make our lives easier thanks to the development of chemistry.


Chemistry is also in a close relationship with other branches of science. Working together with fields such as physics, biology, mathematics and engineering, it makes significant progress in many fields, from the development of new materials to the discovery of medicines.


As a result, chemical science is an important tool for solving the mysteries of nature. It plays a major role in solving many problems we face in our daily lives and in technological developments. Chemistry is an important branch of science that will continue to contribute to the scientific and technological progress of humanity.

Surface Activity: Basic Concepts and Application Areas

-
Resim
Surface activity is an important concept in various fields of chemistry, biology, environmental science and industry. Surface active substances or surfactants play a special role on surfaces where two different phases – such as water and oil – come together. These substances facilitate the mixing of phases or interaction between them by reducing surface tension. This feature allows it to be used in many areas from cleaning to industrial processes. In this article, we will examine what surface activity is, how it works and in which areas it is used. Definition and Working Principle of Surface Active Substances Surface activity is the totality of the properties exhibited by molecules on a surface depending on their interactions on that surface. In this context, surface active substances (surfactants) are chemicals that reduce surface tension by interacting on the surface of liquids or between two different phases (such as liquid-gas or liquid-liquid). Surface active substances have two i...

Discovery of Oil and Its Importance in Human History

-
Resim
Oil is considered one of the most important energy sources of the modern world. However, no one could have predicted that its emergence on the stage of history would play such a critical role in meeting today's energy needs. The discovery and first use of oil heralded major transformations in human history and became one of the cornerstones of the industrial revolution. First Discoveries and Natural Oil Seeps The realization of oil by humanity actually dates back to ancient times. According to historical records, ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and China used oil that naturally seeped to the surface of the earth for medical and practical purposes. Especially in Mesopotamia, petroleum derivatives known as bitumen (tar) were used in construction materials for waterproofing, shipbuilding and even religious rituals. It is known that natural gas and oil were extracted in China in the 4th century BC using simple drilling methods. However, these early uses were qu...

Why Plastics Harm Nature

-
Resim
 There are many reasons why plastics harm nature. Here are some of them: Difficulty of Biodegradation: Plastics do not naturally dissolve in nature and take a very long time to biodegrade. Some types of plastic can remain in nature for hundreds or even thousands of years. Danger to Marine and Land Animals: Plastic wastes pose a great threat to marine and land animals. Sea creatures can swallow plastic pieces and drown, block their internal organs or enter the food chain, creating toxic effects for other living things, including humans. Pollution of Water Resources: Plastic wastes cause pollution of water resources such as rivers, lakes and oceans. This leads to damage to living creatures and natural habitats living in aquatic ecosystems. Soil Pollution: The mixing of plastic wastes into the soil can cause a decrease in soil quality and damage to vegetation. In addition, chemicals contained in plastics can leak into the soil and cause contamination of agricultural products or ground...
