About this course

Chemistry is the science of matter and transformation. It studies the composition, structure, and properties of substances, and the reactions through which one set of substances is converted into another, from the simplest diatomic molecules to the complex macromolecules of living systems. It underpins medicine, materials science, energy technology, food production, and environmental science, and is central to some of the most significant challenges facing humanity, including developing new drugs, creating sustainable energy sources, and understanding and mitigating pollution.
