“Chemistry is what pops and stinks …” - this idea may still be familiar to one or the other from chemistry class.
Indeed, chemistry deals with many things that are either easily flammable (e.g. hydrogen) or can smell quite unpleasant (like butyric acid). But that's not all chemistry does and can do.
All processes, even metabolic processes of our body, are based on chemical processes. That's why this science goes hand in hand with biology and physics.
To give you an introduction to this fascinating and complex science, we have put together some basics for you.
In this topic you will learn what chemistry actually is, what the difference between acids and bases is, how you can make your own soap and whether the future of the automotive industry will really only depend on electric mobility.
We also have an experiment or two for you - tested by us and completely safe.
But now we hope you have fun with our chemistry Dailys!
Our tip: If you find a Daily particularly interesting or would like to read it again later, you can put it in the archive (press star).
