Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Indians were applying chemistry in various ways as early as 1000 BC without realizing it, such as purifying metals, dyeing cloth, fermentation, and making medicines. Some of the earliest intentional chemical reactions involved processes like fire. The Egyptians were purifying gold as early as 2600 BC. Chemistry later developed into branches including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. Chemistry now has many applications and roles in industries, forensics, health, teaching, entrepreneurship, and more.

5. HISTORY OF CHEMISTRY
By 1000BC ancient civilizations where applying different branches
of chemistry. Examples are purifying and extracting metals, dying
cloth materials, fermentation of wine, cosmetics, painting,
medicines, embalming, food making, and making alloys.
first chemical reaction that was used in a controlled manner was
“FIRE”.
Greeks, Indian, and Egyptians where the ones to first to
utilize chemistry without realizing it.
Purification of metals was first recognized as early as 2600 BC by
the Egyptians when they purify gold
Purification of metals was first recognized as early as 2600 BC by
