“Studying chemistry has double objective:
improvement of natural sciences
and increase in prizes of life.”
M.V. Lomonosov.
The science of substances – chemistry – offers a lot for life support. The object of chemistry lies in chemical elements, simple and compound substances formed of them, as well as the transformation of substances and chemical transformation laws. Studying the substances’ properties, experiments and research in micro-world make it possible to solve the mysteries of advent of life on the Earth, identify hidden elements and phenomena of human organism and other mysteries of nature. Everybody knows that none of the industries can work without using chemical reactions, decay products of chemical element compounds. The life on Earth directly depends on the results of chemical processes. Everything that we use in everyday life has been produced thanks to chemists to a large extent. These are home appliances, cosmetic products, pharmaceuticals, clothes, fuel for transport, construction materials and many other things.
