To design polymers with different sets of properties to suit a wide range of useful products. They can be soft and breakable like thin paper and can be hard and str0ng like steel.they can be made designed to withstand low or high temperatures,the attack of microorganisms.light,and chemicals.s0me are designee to be biocompatible.that is,they are…[Read more]

Kappalycus alvarezii or red seaweed is cultivated in the philippines.it is the source of carageenan, an important ingredient in many industrial products.
synthetic polymers are commonly kn0wn as plastics.they are examples of how chemists have been able to mke new materials never seen before,out of ordinary natural things like air,oil,petroleum,and…[Read more]

Chemistry is about the things we need and use in our daily lives-air,water,food,clothing,medicine,dwelling,telecommunication,transportation,fuel,eav.
our culture and our environment are somehow shaped by the development of our knowledge of science,chemistry particularly ,has made significant contributions to society.

So far we have only studied simple mixtures.in our natural environment,substances usually in the sense that there are several compnents.
for example.air is a mixture of gases-oxygen,nitrogen,arg0n,and the other gases that are usually released by the activities of human beings or are products of technology.if such gases are present in am0unts that…[Read more]
