Chemistry studies the composition, reactions, and properties of matter.
Chemistry (medieval Latin chimia, from Late Greek khêmeia) is a science which is related to several others such as biology and physics. Whether in the field of health, the environment, food or energy management, chemistry is at the origin of several innovations and inventions present in our daily lives.
The chemistry program is divided into four modules. First of all, the study of the behaviour of gases allows for a better understanding of the natural phenomena in which they play a role and of the applications they are used for. Secondly, the study of the energetic aspect of transformations offers the opportunity to better understand phenomena and applications in which endothermic and exothermic reactions intervene. The study of reaction rates, on the other hand, provides an overview of the importance of the reaction rate and the means by which it can be modified. Finally, the study of chemical equilibrium reveals a new type of chemical reaction, that is incomplete reactions. These are reactions where both reactants and products are simultaneously involved.
A general section has also been included on the website to remind the students the concepts of science and technology required to study chemistry. Finally, the section entitled Oxidation-Reduction Reaction provides additional material for a study of chemical reactions in more depth.
