This article will aim to discuss the world before and after the discovery of chemistry and how it came about. The main topic of this essay is the history of chemistry and its impacts on our daily lives. You can sit there and ask yourself, “What will I ever do with chemistry in my everyday life?” » Honestly, from my point of view, I realized that chemistry is a very important part of our daily lives. The process of your breathing and how oxygen is converted to carbon dioxide and then how plants go through photosynthesis and then produce oxygen so we can breathe and live longer. Although some of these things may seem simple, most of them are actually simple. You just have to think about it a little. Before the discovery of chemistry, the periodic table was never formed, so we had no idea what the world was made of or even what the air we breathe every day was made of. According to the Columbia University website (http://www.columbia.edu/itc/chemistry/chem-c2507/navbar/chemhist.html), the first recorded history of the discovery of chemistry dates back to 1700 BC JC. The discovery was: “The known metals were recorded and cataloged in conjunction with the celestial bodies. » Such a discovery amazed people, because who on Earth could ever imagine such a thought or hypothesis. The only thing is that it dates back to prehistoric times, before we had any technology, when we progress to the 1780s AD, when inventions were bringing major results such as Mendeleev's theory of the periodic table. elements. this then definitely slowed down the processes of discovery of new materials and elements. Back when we really had no technology, ...... middle of paper ...... it was quite incredible. Who would have even imagined in the 1920s that we would have television or hopefully one day a cure for all cancers. This article was intended to discuss the history of chemistry and how it has affected us today and how it has changed us from the past. Advances in modern chemistry have brought us to a whole new level of inventions and discoveries. All of the examples above are interesting to examine and ponder on their true greatness. I guess the real test of our society is whether we will use these advances for a good cause or whether we will use them for whatever evil may come? Every day you breathe in, look around and see the leaves changing, you witness chemistry at its finest. Soon, one day, there will be a perfect world, or even worlds if your technology allows us. Thank you for taking the time to read this essay..
