Basically ,"what is not chemistry is not worth doing" because everything in life involves the knowledge of chemistry. Chemistry is the study of occurrence properties ,behaviors and uses of non-living components .Our world is made up of matter and we study chemistry to acquire knowledge about matter. We perform experiments and learn to observe, record and make intelligent inferences. Studying chemistry gives us training in the scientific method .This knowledge and training will help us to become scientists in the field of chemistry, and such scientist are known as Chemists.
The word chemistry comes from alchemy, which referred to an earlier set of practices that encompassed elements of chemistry, metallurgy, philosophy, astrology, astronomy, mysticism and medicine. It is often seen as linked to the quest to turn lead or another common starting material into gold, though in ancient times the study encompassed many of the questions of modern chemistry being defined as the study of the composition of waters, movement, growth, embodying, disembodying, drawing the spirits from bodies and bonding the spirits within bodies by the early 4th century Greek-Egyptian alchemist Zosimos. An alchemist was called a 'chemist' in popular speech, and later the suffix "-ry" was added to this to describe the art of the chemist as "chemistry".
