Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, composition, structure, and the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. It explores the interactions between atoms and molecules, leading to the formation of new substances with different characteristics. The course covers various branches, including organic chemistry, which focuses on carbon-based compounds, inorganic chemistry dealing with non-organic substances, physical chemistry that explains chemical processes using physics principles, and analytical chemistry, which involves techniques for identifying and quantifying substances.  

Students learn about fundamental concepts such as atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, kinetics, and equilibrium. Laboratory experiments play a crucial role in reinforcing theoretical knowledge, allowing students to observe reactions, analyze data, and develop scientific skills. Chemistry is essential in various fields, including medicine, engineering, environmental science, and industrial applications. The course enhances critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical abilities, preparing students for careers in research, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and other science-related industries.
