化学 is primarily concerned with matter, 能源, 以及它们的相互作用, 和 chemists do a wide variety of things:
- 制造新的物质， 包括新材料和新药物.
- 设计新方法 制造已知的化合物.
- Isolate 和 determine chemical structures 自然产生的物质.
- 阐明化学机制 生物过程背后.
- 试着解释这些变化 重要经历.
- 开发和应用分析技术 for criminal investigations 和 environmental problems.
- Sell chemicals, teach chemistry, 和 apply chemical knowledge to solve other societal 和 technological problems.
Chemists are also concerned about the effect their work 和 technology have on society 和 on individuals. They are in the forefront of efforts to make sure that technology serves humankind rather than vice versa.
