1. Chemistry - the science concerned with the composition of matter and with the changes that matter undergoes. - is the study of matter and the changes it can undergo. - the organization of experimental results into laws, the development of a molecular model and finally the coupling of these components so that our physical world can be further explored or mastered. - the science that deals with the composition, structure and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes.
