What is chemistry?

Chemistry is the study of the nature and properties of matters. Although chemistry is a study of properties of substances, there are millions and billions of different substances in the world, it is almost impossible to study them all. However, scientists have found that all substances are made up of limited number of different components, called elements. e.g. water is a substance comprised of elements hydrogen and oxygen. Only 92 elements are naturally occurring, mostly in combined form with other elements, either within the earths crust or in air and water. Until Nov 1994, other 19 elements were made by the scientists in the laboratory and made up to a total of 111 elements.
