8. Why Study Chemistry? Aims of Chemistry 100! Introduce the basics of chemical knowledge Improve your problem solving skills. Want you to gain an appreciation and understanding of stories of chemical and/or biochemical relevance to everyday life! ◦ Greenhouse effect ◦ O 3 (ozone) depletion ◦ Green energy

9. The ‘Central’ Science Applications of Chemistry in  Pharmacy  Adding functional groups to molecules to improve activity of drugs; Drug molecules of lower toxicity, designing new drugs from scratch, requires chemistry.  Polymer Science  The new “plastics”, biodegradable polymers, composite materials, thermoplastics, etc.

10. The Central Science (cont’d) Criminology  DNA fingerprinting.  CSI (various incarnations)?? The Auto Industry – Electric cars and Hybrids  extensive research on batteries  newer stronger lightweight plastics and materials  lightweight frames and plastic body panels.

11. The Auto Industry  Freon replacements for air-conditioning systems  Alternative Fuel Vehicles (Flexi-Fuel Cars) H 2 powered E85 powered (ethanol/gasoline combination) Hybrids
