Chemistry and Goals of Chemists
Filed Under Organic Chemistry | Leave a Comment
Chemistry is a science of substances, their properties, and how and why materials combine or separate to form different substances. Atoms, molecules and compounds are the involved ones in the study of Chemistry. In other words, it is how atoms interact to form molecules and how molecules interact with each other. It also looks into the composition of substances and their properties. The outer electron orbits or shells primarily determine the chemical characteristics of a material and whether materials will chemically combine. Thus Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter and the changes that take place in that composition. If we place a bar of iron outside our window, the iron bar will soon begin to rust. If we pour vinegar on baking soda, the mixture fizzes. If we hold a sugar cube over a flame, the sugar begins to turn brown and give off steam. The goal of chemistry is to understand the composition of substances such as iron, vinegar, baking soda, and sugar and to understand what happens during the changes described here.
The term chemistry has grown out of an earlier field of study known as alchemy. Alchemy has been described as a kind of pre-chemistry, in which scholars studied the nature of matter but without the formal scientific approach that modern chemists use. The term alchemy is probably based on the Arabic name for Egypt, al-Kimia, or the “black country.” Ancient scholars learned a great deal about matter, usually by trial- and-error methods. For example, the Egyptians mastered many technical procedures such as making different types of metals, manufacturing colored glass, dying cloth, and extracting oils from plants. Alchemists of the Middle Ages discovered a number of elements and compounds and perfected other chemical techniques, such as distillation and crystallization. The modern subject of chemistry did not appear, however, until the eighteenth century. At that point, scholars began to recognize that research on the nature of matter had to be conducted according to certain specific rules. Among these rules was one stating that ideas in chemistry had to be subjected to experimental tests. Nowadays keeping in view the overall significance and versatility of chemistry, we can say that:
Chemistry is a science: There is only one sanctioned procedure for determining whether a statement about matter is really chemistry: the exhaustive, inefficient, but highly successful scientific method. Chemists often arrive at new results by nonscientific means (like luck or sheer creativity), but their work isn’t chemistry unless it can be reproduced and verified scientifically.
Chemistry is a systematic study: Chemists have devised several good methods for solving problems and making observations. For example, analytical chemists often use protocols (thoroughly tested recipes) for determining the concentrations of substances in a sample. Chemists use well-defined techniques like spectroscopy and chromatography to study new or unknown substances.
Chemistry is the study of the composition and properties of matter: Chemistry is the study of the composition and properties of matter as it answers questions like, “What kind of stuff is a sample made of? What does the sample look like on a molecular scale? How does the structure of the material determine its properties? How do the properties of the material change when we increase temperature, or pressure, or some other environmental variable?”
Chemistry is the study of the reactivity of substances: Chemistry is the study of the reactivity of substances as one material can be changed into another by a chemical reaction. A complex substance can by made from simpler ones. Chemical compounds can break down into simpler substances. For example, fuels burn, food cooks, leaves turn their colors in the fall, cells grow, medicines cure and it is both their chemistry and the chemistry which is concerned with the essential processes that make these changes happen. Today, the science of chemistry is often divided into four major areas: organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry. Each discipline investigates a different aspect of the properties and reactions of matter.
Organic chemistry: Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. That definition sometimes puzzles beginning chemistry students because more than 100 chemical elements are known. How does it happen that one large field of chemistry is devoted to the study of only one of those elements and its compounds? The answer to that question is that carbon is a most unusual element. It is the only element whose atoms are able to combine with each other in apparently endless combinations. Many organic compounds consist of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of carbon atoms joined to each other in a continuous chain. Other organic compounds consist of carbon chains with other carbon chains branching off them. Still other organic compounds consist of carbon atoms arranged in rings, cages, spheres, or other geometric forms. The scope of organic chemistry can be appreciated by knowing that more than 90 percent of all compounds known to science (more than 10 million compounds) are organic compounds. Organic chemistry is of special interest because it deals with many of the compounds that we encounter in our everyday lives: natural and synthetic rubber, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oils, cloth, plastics, paper, and most of the compounds that make up all living organisms, from simple one-cell bacteria to the most complex plants and animals.
Inorganic chemistry: Inorganic chemistry is the study of the chemistry of all the elements in the periodic table except for carbon. Like their cousins in the field of organic chemistry, inorganic chemists have provided the world with countless numbers of useful products, including fertilizers, alloys, ceramics, household cleaning products, building materials, water softening and purification systems, paints and stains, computer chips and other electronic components, and beauty products. The more than 100 elements included in the field of inorganic chemistry have a staggering variety of properties. Some are gases, others are solid, and a few are liquid. Some are so reactive that they have to be stored in special containers, while others are so inert (inactive) that they virtually never react with other elements. Some are so common they can be produced for only a few cents a pound, while others are so rare that they cost hundreds of dollars an ounce. Because of this wide variety of elements and properties, most inorganic chemists concentrate on a single element or family of elements or on certain types of reactions.
Physical chemistry: Physical chemistry is the branch of chemistry that investigates the physical properties of materials and relates these properties to the structure of the substance. Physical chemists study both organic and inorganic compounds and measure such variables as the temperature needed to liquefy a solid, the energy of the light absorbed by a substance, and the heat required to accomplish a chemical transformation. A computer is used to calculate the properties of a material and compare these assumptions to laboratory measurements. Physical chemistry is responsible for the theories and understanding of the physical phenomena utilized in organic and inorganic chemistry.
Analytical chemistry: Analytical chemistry is that field of chemistry concerned with the identification of materials and with the determination of the percentage composition of compounds and mixtures. These two lines of research are known, respectively, as qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. Two of the oldest techniques used in analytical chemistry are gravimetric and volumetric analysis. Gravimetric analysis refers to the process by which a substance is precipitated (changed to a solid) out of solution and then dried and weighed. Volumetric analysis involves the reaction between two liquids in order to determine the composition of one or both of the liquids.
In the last half of the twentieth century, a number of mechanical systems have been developed for use in analytical research. For example, spectroscopy is the process by which an unknown sample is excited (or energized) by heating or by some other process. The radiation given off by the hot sample can then be analyzed to determine what elements are present. Various forms of spectroscopy are available (X-ray, infrared, and ultraviolet, for example) depending on the form of radiation analyzed. Other analytical techniques now in use include optical and electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI; used to produce a three-dimensional image), mass spectrometry (used to identify and find out the mass of particles contained in a mixture), and various forms of chromatography (used to identify the components of mixtures).
Other fields of chemistry: The division of chemistry into four major fields is in some ways misleading and inaccurate. In the first place, each of these four fields is so large that no chemist is an authority in any one field. An inorganic chemist might specialize in the chemistry of sulfur, the chemistry of nitrogen, the chemistry of the inert gases, or in even more specialized topics. Secondly, many fields have developed within one of the four major areas, and many other fields cross two or more of the major areas. For an example of specialization, the subject of biochemistry is considered a subspecialty of organic chemistry. It is concerned with organic compounds that occur within living systems. An example of a cross-discipline subject is bioinorganic chemistry. Bioinorganic chemistry is the science dealing with the role of inorganic elements and their compounds (such as iron, copper, and sulfur) in living organisms. At present, chemists explore the boundaries of chemistry and its connections with other sciences, such as biology, environmental science, geology, mathematics, and physics. A chemist today may even have a so-called nontraditional occupation. He or she may be a pharmaceutical salesperson, a technical writer, a science librarian, an investment broker, or a patent lawyer, since discoveries by a traditional chemist may expand and diversify into a variety of fields that encompass our whole society.
Chemists have two major goals. One is to find out the composition of matter in order to learn what elements are present in a given sample and in what percentage and arrangement. This type of research is known as analysis. A second goal is to invent new substances that replicate or are different from those found in nature. This form of research is known as synthesis. In many cases, analysis leads to synthesis. That is, chemists may find that some naturally occurring substance is a good painkiller. That discovery may suggest new avenues of research that will lead to a synthetic (human-made) product similar to the natural product, but with other desirable properties (and usually lower cost). Many of the substances that chemistry has produced for human use have been developed by this process of analysis and synthesis.

Find Physical Therapy Programs in the United States and Canada. There is a vast assortment of physical therapy programs from which to choose. For instance, if you have already attained a certain level of education from one of over 200 accredited physical therapy programs in the United States, you will find that that a number of schools and universities provide extended career training in Masters Degree in Physical Therapy, post-graduate Doctor of Physical Therapy Programs, as well as Transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy Programs.
Depending on which physical therapy program in which you enroll, there are several specialized areas of study that are currently available. Various colleges and universities provide practical training in orthopedic physical therapy, geriatric physical therapy, neurological physical therapy, occupational physical therapy, cardiovascular/pulmonary rehabilitation, and pediatric physical therapy, among others.
If you are more interested in becoming a physical therapy assistant (PTA) or physical therapy aide, there are also numerous physical therapy programs primarily designed for the future PTA in mind. Candidates learn how to work under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist after they have successfully graduated from an accredited Associate degree program.
Associates in Physical Therapy programs often take approximately two years to complete and are the educational stepping stone for physical therapy assistants. Upon completion, graduates can go onto attaining their Bachelors, Masters or Doctorates and earn the right to become licensed physical therapists. Depending on the degree course, students can anticipate a curriculum in anatomy, CPR and first aid, physiology, biology, chemistry, and physics; and practical training in therapeutic modalities (including massage techniques, manual and mechanical therapies, etc.). While not all physical therapy schools offer the exact same curriculum, accredited physical therapy programs (by the American Physical Therapy Association APTA) must meet common, and basic educational standards; so while many may differ in specialized training, the academic foundations are very similar.
Once training has been successfully completed in one of countless physical therapy programs, graduates can earn from $24k - $88k annually.* (Depending on level of education, experience and training.)
If you (or someone you know) are interested in finding physical therapy programs, let professional training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started! Explore career school programs near you.

Guys - How do I bring back the attraction after having sex? He says he doesn’t feel our chemistry?
Filed Under Physical Chemistry | 9 Comments
My boyfriend of a few months hasn’t been the same with me ever since we had sex (a month into our dating) I could tell that he still cares for me.. but I also can tell he doesn’t feel the physical chemistry. I try to do all of that with him, be spontaneous, creative and try to dress nice. But he says he still doesn’t feel it (even tho we do have sex).
Have other guys experienced this?
Unfortunately I think we had sex too soon - way before his feelings turned into love. I don’t know what to do b/c I don’t want to lose him. He’s drawn to my intellect, common interests and we talk well together.
How can I make him attracted to me again? Thanks.

Pancreatic diseases are the serious alarming bell to change the diet, life style and focus on the liver’s health. Why on the liver, “I was told I have problem with my pancreas?”
To understand that, we have to accept the idea that all upper GI tract organs such as stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and duodenum work together as a orchestra and failure in one organ causes the problems in whole system. To understand relation between liver, bile ducts and pancreatic gland one needs to know about structure, function and relationship of these organs.
Liver is our chemical factory with many tasks. Manufacture and release the bile is one of the life important functions of the liver.
Liver removes the toxins from our body by separating them on water-soluble and fat-soluble substances.
First, liver makes water-soluble wastes less toxic; moves them to the blood and then to the kidney for urination them out.
Second, liver move the fat-soluble wastes into the bile and then to the small and large intestines for eliminating them out from body. More toxins are in our body, more toxins go to the bile. The liver is a storage site for carcinogenic chemicals, pesticides, drugs, and other toxins. Inability to remove these toxic substances can lead to decreased bile production and inflammatory changes in the liver and bile ducts. Thus, bile is getting acidic, aggressive and can corrode another tissue and cells. When the bile throws back to the stomach, it causes ulcers.
When the bile throws back to the pancreatic duct it causes blockage of the duct that drains digestive enzymes from the pancreas leading to inflammation of pancreas - pancreatitis.
The main reason to make bile aggressive is deficiency of minerals, microelements and bicarbonates, which cause the acidosis and changing of biochemistry of bile and pancreatic juice. From another hand, our organism is bombarded every day by myriads of harmful chemicals from food, water, air and toxins from inside or outside of our body. The worst enemy for the liver and bile is alcohol, thus, it is not wonder, that alcohol abuse is number one factor leading to pancreatitis. Unfortunately, there are many parasites, especially one cell organisms, which also cause toxicity and inflammation of bile ducts.
All of these above cause difficulties with production and elimination of bile. Toxic, acidic, solid bile with gallbladder stones or sand may obstruct the bile ducts and spasms of valve between the bile and pancreatic ducts and small intestine (duodenum). These stones can be very small like sand or large and can make blockage of moving of bile, increasing the pressure into pancreatic duct and back up the pancreatic juices that doctors call biliary pancreatic reflux.
The pancreatic digestive enzymes, which trapped inside, start to digest their own pancreatic cells causing congestion, inflammation, pain, cysts and finally death of tissue of pancreas gland.
If the doctor diagnoses pancreatitis this is a huge signal to change the life style and focus on liver and bile health.
What can be helpful?
Healing Diet. Herbal Medicine. Nutritional Supplementation. Acupuncture. Therapeutic Exercises and Point Massage. Drinking Healing Mineral Water made from the Genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt.
Successful treatment of chronic pancreatitis is generally difficult and without focusing on liver and bile problems almost impossible. Contrary, the improving the biochemistry of bile, enhance the production and promote the elimination of bile are very beneficial for people with pancreatic disorders.

Do you think it would be best for me to tell my chemistry professor how I feel?
Filed Under Physical Chemistry | 3 Comments
Last semester I had a physical chemistry course with a new single female professor named Ms. Williams. From the first moment I saw her I thought she was really cute. We had become very close because she realized that I had problems outside of school that was affecting me and she offered to help. I did really well in her class and all my other classes because of this. However this semester I had a mediocre grade on the first test because she keeps running through my mind and in my dreams. I know that as my professor it wont be right to date or sleep with her however I feel that if I could tell her how I feel that it would get this burden of this chest to know if she would have liked me or no and I would be able to focus on her class better. Should I tell her how I feel?

Find Nutrition Graduate Programs in the United States and Canada. If you’d like to achieve a Masters or Ph.D. in nutrition, you should first review admission requirements to nutrition graduate programs. Typically, prospective students must take an aptitude test prior to enrollment. Additionally, applicants to nutrition graduate programs must have earned a minimum undergraduate degree with an above average GPA.
Common studies involved in nutrition graduate programs are research in genetic and metabolic foundations (in animal and human diets), nutritional biochemistry, pathology in relation to nutrition, nutritional epidemiology, and other related subject matter.
Nutrition graduate programs that result in a Master’s (MS) degree entail in-depth coursework in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, advanced nutrition, physiology, and advanced human nutrition. In addition, students will almost always have to complete a thesis, as well as residency. Generally, nutrition graduate programs like this require a minimum of two years to complete.
Doctorate (Ph.D.) nutrition graduate programs include higher studies, doctoral dissertation research, and advanced nutrition sciences and research, among other associated courses. Ph.D. program lengths vary, but usually take between three and four years to finish successfully.
Students may also opt to participate in nutrition graduate programs with an emphasis on food science. These studies generally focus on food chemistry, biochemistry and microbiology; food processing, and supplementary research, thesis and residency. These nutrition graduate programs generally require the same amount of time and prerequisites as typical M.S. and Ph.D. courses.
Candidates who have successfully completed nutrition graduate programs in North America have potential to earn well over $60,000 annually in a faster-than-average growing career field. In addition to the positive financial outlook, professional nutritionists and dieticians gain overall satisfaction in helping individuals to make effective dietary choices in the prevention of disease, improved health and overall wellbeing.

There are 3 critical aspects to sound health. Ignoring any one of the following may leave you susceptible to disease and degenerative effects of premature aging.
1 Electrical Energy - life and vitality are all about electrical energy.
2 Chemistry - optimum health happens only with pH balance.
3 Belief - our reality is created by our thoughts.
We can think of health as a bank account. In each area highlighted above, we are either making deposits to, or withdrawals from, our account balance. As long as the account is being replenished, the body will continue to serve us.
When withdrawals exceed deposits, disease begins to appear; in time, the balance goes to zero and the account is closed - we die.
Electrical Energy
The body is an energy system that operates on, generates, and stores, electricity. For comparison, nerve pathways are our transmission lines, and every cell is a miniature generator and storage battery.
Energy to replenish body reserves comes from the food we eat. Only raw, living food contains restorative energy that can be made available for transfer to the body.
Any food whose enzymes have been destroyed by cooking has lost its electrical energy.When it is consumed, it becomes a drain on the body’s electrical potential because the body must draw on stored energy to process the dead food.
We must be conscious of our diet and choose to eat adequate quantities of electrically active food. Living food leads to health and vitality. Dead food has no electrical energy; consuming disproportionate quantities of it leads to lower energy reserves, disease, and an early death.
All food, including supplements,must contain live enzymes to be electrically alive and health-building.
Chemistry
The human body was designed to operate in a slightly alkaline state. In optimum health, blood has a pH of 7.4; cells operate best at a pH near 7.0.
Body pH is determined by the predominance of alkaline or acid minerals the body must process and store. Raw fruits and vegetables are the main sources of natural alkaline minerals for the body.
Most other foods contain minerals that produce strong acids in the body, which then must be neutralized and eliminated.
This neutralization process depletes the body’s stores of alkaline minerals. A healthy diet should contain approximately 80% alkaline and 20% acid foods and beverages.
Having knowledge of which foods supply the mineral requirements for pH balance, and consciously choosing to consume them, empowers us to work with our bodies toward health. By regularly checking the pH of our first in the morning urine, we can monitor the body’s need for additional alkaline minerals.
Belief
Ultimately, everything in our lives is determined by our conscious and subconscious beliefs. Thoughts are energy, which in turn, creates our reality. Our thoughts and emotions produce either harmony or disharmony within our bodies.
Positive thoughts have an alkalizing and regenerative effect; negative thoughts have an acidifying and degenerative effect. Becoming aware of what we think and feel is the first step in creating a life of health and happiness.
All our beliefs are determined, reinforced, or changed by our thoughts.What we repeat in our self-talk eventually manifests as health or disease in our bodies, and as happiness or sadness, fulfillment or disappointment in our lives.
Life is an experience we create; this happens whether we are aware of it or not. Our purpose for being here is to become aware, to consciously create the life we want; our power to do that increases as we become more conscious.
When we begin to understand that our ego is a false self, we open the door to self-awareness. The ego works to keep us self-centered and reactive. It works to retain control of our mind and keep us unaware of the true self, which is spirit.
The first step to overcoming the ego’s control is resisting the urge to be reactive, and letting go of our tendency to take offense.
Realizing that those people we feel have hurt us in some way were only acting out of their own blindness and lack of awareness, allows us to forgive them.
Forgiveness is the key to emotional freedom. Gratitude is the path to peace of mind. Unconditional love is the force that creates harmony with all.
