Chemistry is embedded in all fields of sciences. It is the study of matter (anything that has mass and occupies space), its composition and the reactions it undergoes.
Other fields of the pure sciences include the biology and physics. Chemistry finds its way in biology (which is the study if living organism and the interactions with the environment) by studying the composition and its interaction and effect to the environment. Chemistry finds its way into in physics( the study of physical materials and their mechanics), by studying the compositions of the material, through formation and production and their interactions with other materials.
Chemists are people who study and practice chemistry. People who find their way into studying chemistry have one purpose or the other, some want to go into industry, some hospital and teaching but the primary thing is that they come in to become the solution to the biological and physical problems.
It is impossible for a scientific institution to be without chemistry. The importance of chemistry has been seen as an inevitable ingredient to becoming a full scientist. This is why chemistry has been made compulsory at some sessions in some of the colleges, and in universities or other tertiary institutions some science courses or programs have been incorporated with chemistry such as biochemistry, physiochemistry, neurochemistry, as well as some others that do not have chemistry incorporated in their names but some aspects of chemistry in their details.
For those considering to build a career in chemistry, it promises to be a worthwhile venture, having seen this brief summary on what it entails.
