1st Edition
At present, chemistry is an experimental science, which bases all its laws
and principles, in the experimentation and demonstration of them, defined
as experimental science that is in charge of the study of the structure,
properties and transformations of matter.
Nowadays, chemistry has branched out in different fields and is
considered as the central science, because its study is so broad, that is
mixed and introduced in other sciences, such as medicine, engineering ....
Some of the main branches of chemistry are analytical chemistry,
inorganic, organic, biochemical, physicochemical, etc.
Today, every citizen must be informed and have a minimum of chemical
knowledge to feel integrated with the society in which we live, widely
influenced by science and technology.
Without a doubt, the development of chemistry has had a great impact on
society. New styles have now been created as a result of the knowledge
that has given us chemistry.
Whether drinking a glass of water, choosing
new footwear or going to work, chemistry is
always an important part of people's lives.
Do you want to know how?
In this article we will present some examples of
daily activities that would not be possible
without the advances of the chemical industry
 Water
Through processes such as desalination and
ultrafiltration, it is possible to transform water into
potable, fit for human consumption. This super filter is
composed of high technology 20 nanometer pores, which
removes solid waste, bacteria, viruses and germs on an
industrial scale.
 Food Packaging
Food packaging should not only help transport, but also
protect products from pollution, moisture and other
damages, in an increasingly sustainable way. Chemistry
helps in this task with materials made with polymers
that block substances with large molecules (like mineral
oils) and allow the passage of small molecules (such as
water vapor)
 Aromas
It may be the smell of freshly washed hair or the
unmistakable aroma of chocolate. Chemistry is present
in various aromas of our day to day. To create them, it
is necessary to mix various aromatic chemicals with
natural essential oils, such as bergamot and orange. A
mild fragrance, for example, can have 30 to 100
ingredients, while a sophisticated fragrance can collect
up to 300 raw materials in its formula.
 Foods
Chemistry is present in our daily food with ingredients
and food additives, such as vitamins, carotinoids, (source
pigment provitamin A and antioxidant function) and
Omega 3. These assets are part of foods such as bread,
juices, margarines, cookies, dairy products, among others.
 Shoes
From delicate sandals to comfortable sneakers of the
latest generation, the shoes are comfortable and light
thanks to the use of polyurethane. Present in all parts,
from sole to decorative pieces, these components offer a
better performance and provide much more durability
for all types of shoes.
 Transport
Whether in shock absorbers, fuel tank or paint, chemistry
is present in almost every component of an automobile.
With the technologies and solutions developed in recent
years, it has been possible to create, for example, a
collision reinforcement that significantly increases the
safety of passengers and pedestrians, as well as paints
and varnishes that compose an aesthetic appeal with less
environmental impact. Water-based products, which emit
less solvent in the atmosphere)

Chemistry as Experimental Science.-
An experimental science is based on principles and laws derived
from experimentation, and they are demonstrable. Chemistry is
the experimental science that studies matter, its structure, its
properties, its transformations and its laws.
The experimental sciences are guided by the scientific method, which
consists of a set of dynamic processes performed by the researcher,
whose purpose is to guarantee the veracity of knowledge. This
knowledge is a product of observation and theories that explain
phenomena. Theories can be modified or replaced by others as
research progresses. Thus, at present, a scientific model has been
developed that allows to interpret the nature of matter in terms of
atomic structure and chemical bond, from earlier simpler models.
Experimental sciences conduct controlled experiments to study natural
phenomena in the laboratory. A controlled experiment consists of
manipulating a variable or factor without changing the rest of the factors
that influence the observed phenomenon
Chemistry today has branched out in several specialized areas and is
considered as the central science, because its field of study is very broad
and is intermingled with different fields of science: engineering,
medicine, computer science, etc. The main areas of chemistry are:
analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry,
biochemistry, physicochemistry and nuclear chemistry.
Chemical knowledge must be
part of our integral education as
informed citizens that are
developed in a society influenced
by science and technology.
Chemistry and Life.
Daily we hear news about
chemistry-related events and
enjoy consumer products
generated by various chemical industries. Chemistry is part of the food,
medicine, cosmetics, detergent dressing, insecticide, transportation, etc.
industries. These products are manufactured in order to give the human
being a better quality of life. However, we must know the chemical nature
of the products we consume and the health risks, in order to give them
an appropriate use.
Chemistry and Society.
The development of chemistry has
had a social impact. Our current
society has created new lifestyles as a
result of the knowledge provided by
chemistry. For example, the
emergence of chemical industries in
the areas of health, food, construction,
transport and others has generated
sources of work and the opening of new university careers that train
professionals in the different areas of the chemical activity.
On the other hand, we can see that although chemical knowledge seeks
to achieve the well-being of mankind, nonetheless, it is used for other
purposes. Today we see that this knowledge has been used to increase
the production of drugs harmful to health and to create biological
weapons.
Chemistry and the Environment.
The development of chemical industries has resulted in the
accumulation of waste products that deteriorate the environment. In
recent times has been observed as the plastics, detergents,
insecticides and toxic gases, have generated an environmental
imbalance. This action of the human being on the environment is
known as environmental impact.
However, chemistry provides the basis for solving the problems of
environmental pollution, because it allows to know the nature of the
pollutants and how to eliminate or avoid them.
On the other hand, the formation of an ecological conscience is
necessary to promote the conservation of the environment. In
Venezuela, the Ministry of the Environment is responsible for ensuring
the ecological balance of our environment; As well as various
ecological groups.
