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 extracting and purifying gold by the Egyptians in 2600 BC and using fire. The Greeks, Indians, and Egyptians were the first to utilize chemistry in a controlled manner. Chemistry later developed into branches including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. Chemistry now has many applications and roles in industry, forensics, health, teaching, and entrepreneurship.

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 the Egyptians when they purify gold
