Chemistry is the scientific study of matter, its properties, composition, and how it interacts with energy. It explores how substances combine or break apart to form new materials, and how energy is involved in these processes. In chemistry, we study elements, which are pure substances consisting of only one type of atom, and compounds, which are made of two or more different elements chemically bonded together.
