Materials science and Chemistry

David Kreher

Chemistry is the branch of Science that is involved in the study of composition, properties and reactivity of matter. Chemistry is called the central science because it is involved in every other science as a foundation for example it is part of materials as materials chemistry; it is part of ecology as the formation of ozone. Materials science is a part of chemistry. Chemistry is concerned with composition, properties and behavior of matter. Materials science limits its distinct subject to exploring and designing the relationship between the basic microstructure of a material and its impact on its macroscopic properties.
