What is chemistry? (Part 1)

Frost, in ‘Learning to Teach Science’ had made an attempt to describe Chemistry, stating that “Chemistry is about two stories:

The macroscopic world of bulk materials and the invisible world of atoms and molecules.” 

When talking about Chemistry there is always a transfer of information from both sides and when summarised, Frost said:

"It is the story of the flow of energy that accompanies chemical change that links the two.”

Chemistry is seen as the one of the ‘big three’ of the sciences (Wellington & co.) Chemistry fits neatly between the macro world of biology and the largely micro world of physics and in a sense, they both depend upon Chemistry (Stacey Bretz, 2008, p.15). 

Bretz an editor of “Chemistry in the National Science” had been quite determined to make it clear that physics and biology would not be able to function without the ‘world of chemistry.’ She had gone on to say that its language provides the products that people use and that can directly have an influence on everyday lives.
