Dear foolish friend, I believe that you are totally wrong in saying that you can be a scientist without chemistry. Almost all occupations related to science involve some sort of chemistry. Chemistry is like a giant base and pillar for science. Without it, there would be no science. Thus meaning in every career, you will have to learn the concepts of chemistry.

If you want to learn more general reasons as to why science is important. You have to take a look here. It is a must read! http://www.scienceray.com/Philosophy-of-Science/The-Importance-of-Science.119458

Chemistry is the science which involves composition, structure, properties of matter, as well as changes that they undergo during chemical changes. A scientist will have to study chemistry because Earth Scientists (geologists, oceanographers) have to study this concept for their daily work. A concept of chemistry is the discovery of atoms. An atom is a basic unit of an element. For technology, we use these discovered elements for computer wiring, and other daily uses. Magnesium is used with oxygen to create a bright flare (emergency signal). Nitrogen is used to freeze things. These are elements used for special technology. For our society, elements evolve around our daily lives.

These elements have been found and identified using several properties. These atoms are organized in a table called the “periodic” table first started by Mendeleyev, a very important scientist. The atoms that make up these elements were discovered and now are used in our daily lives. From our gold, statues, wiring, pencils to or food like salt. When speaking of our environment, many elements have been discovered on our earth’s lair. We have found copper, alkaline metals, metalloids, and many types of gases. Research shows that we breathe in a mixture of gasses. Mostly this mixture is of nitrogen. All of this research is related to science however, a big chunk of chemistry. Without it, we’d be in the dark. All of this has to be learned by an Earth Scientist or else he/she will not be able to study earth science.

Another concept discovered in chemistry is of chemical reactions/changes. This is a process that results in the interconversion of chemical substances. Archeologists, chemists, and even agricultural scientists have to study this for their daily work. For our technology, our daily appliances undergo chemical changes, especially our food. The creation of toasters has lead to our bread undergoing chemical changes. Our cakes are baked in our ovens and our cars rust from the salt we throw out to melt the snow. Fire crackers are lit on special events. These are all appliances that are created to form or undergo a chemical change. For our society, salt is thrown out to melt the snow and the ice.

Biochemistry is used to help our food grow faster and tastier. Farmers are taught this concept. Over all, we are the ones using appliances to cook our food, which goes over a chemical change. For our environment, we have learned that our pollution is destroying our globe. Our pollution from our factories rises in the air and joins with the pure vapor. This pollutes fresh rain turning it into acid rain. On our islands, we have learned that the volcanoes erupting are destroying our land. These are all chemical changes occurring on our earth, and on our jobs. So if you are issuing a career in the scientific field, get ready to learn this concept.

Earth scientists especially mineralogists face another concept of chemistry. This is the concept of Substance. It is the discovery of mixtures. For our technology, we use mixtures for daily appliances. Alloys are used to make our statues and ornaments. These alloys contain at least one metal and another item. An example would be steel. It is made up of carbon and iron. Bronze is an alloy of tin and copper, used for our statues. For mineralogists, they would have to get ready to face dynamites for blowing up underground tunnels. For our society, most substances we encounter in our daily lives are mixtures. Salt (sodium chloride) is only 1 example.

Copper is usually mixed around with another metal to create an alloy. For our environment, the air we breathe in is a mixture of gases. This mixture contains mostly nitrogen. Ore is mined from our Earth, and smelt for alloys. These jobs involve science that relates to chemistry. Without it, a scientist would not be able to fulfill his/her requirement.

In conclusion, my foolish friend I hope you understand now that without chemistry, there would be no science. Chemistry is the pillar of science and with it, many theories have been discovered. They relate to almost every occupation related to the field of science. In other words, don’t issue a career in science if you can’t do it without hating chemistry.
