   Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and the chemical transformations of matter. Skills learned include: applying knowledge of the fundamental properties of elements, compounds and their reactions, the ability to identify the compositional and energy changes resulting from chemical reactions, using modern chemical instrumentation for the structural analysis of chemicals, testing techniques and processes under a variety of conditions to ascertain reliability. The main purpose of this field of study is to develop an understanding of the fundamental properties of elements, compounds and materials, and their reactions and transformations. It also involves developing an ability to assess and validate chemical phenomena to reach conclusions and determine further areas of investigation, and to present these in written and oral form.
