HOW CHEMISTRY RELATED TO OTHER SCIENCE?

Chemistry is a very important branch in science. It can relate to biology because it composes of all chemical reactions and thus explain all the reactions in the body, for example it explains how our stomach acids dissolve food and how we convert it into energy. Chemistry composes of how all the elements work, of acids and alkalis and their differences, chemical reactions such as combustion (fire) and much more. You take math and start to apply it to our real world, you get physics. equations governing how things move and interact. Eventually you take those equations and try to apply them to the very small...it works, sortof, but really to describe lots of little particles in a system you need other governing principles, etc-- The borderline is called physical chemistry which deals with atomic structure and kinetics of reactions things like that You move into chemistry, describing systems of molecules and atoms and how they work. These can get more complex into things like polymers; eventually you start dealing with even more complex systems of molecules. Here the borderline is biochemistry, discussing the replication of DNA and RNA, proteins, giant macromolecules and moving up into the cell and cell systems... All this is well and good, but again, not super practical if you want to talk about a _really_ complex system of cells, so you need more rules, etc-- and then you move into biology the study of large multicellular organisms, and how they interact.

In a nutshell I guess you could say this: Biology is applied chemistry Chemistry is applied physics Physics is applied math Math is just plain abstract dealing with numbers (note: normally it's an <insert your own punchline here> if you want to make a joke about mathematicians there (= ). If you wanted to extend it further you could say that psychology is applied biology, and social sciences are like applied macro-psychology, etc, etc... Chemistry is what makes sciences like geology and biology possible. Chemical reactions are at the base of every living thing and present in every inch of the earth. Chemistry is also inextricably bound to physics. Atoms and molecules often obey some rules of physics while blatantly defying others. These chemical phenomenae have given rise to new branches of physics devoted to explaining increasingly small portions of the atoms all around us. To put it more succinctly, what is studied in chemistry makes all the other sciences possible.
