Chemistry is the study of matter and its composition, structure, properties and reactions. It has branches including physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. Matter is anything with mass and occupies space, and atoms are the smallest unit of matter retaining elemental properties. Compounds contain atoms of two or more elements bonded together, while elements contain only one type of atom.

Chemistry-is the science of the composition, structure, properties and reactions of a substance or of a matter, especially of atomic and molecular

systems. Geber-Development of scientific method Robert Boyle- the skeptical chemist Antoine Lavoisier-development of law of conservation of mass BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY Physical Chemistry-is the study of patterns of chemical behavior in chemical reactions under various conditions. Inorganic Chemistry-is the study of all the elements and their compounds. Organic Chemistry-refers to the study of all carbon containing compound.

Matter-is anything that has mass and occupies space and possesses inertia. Protons Neutrons Particles that made-up Atom Electrons Atom-is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties and characteristics of its elements. Compound-is a substance that contains atoms of two or more different elements. Elements -is a pure substance that contains only one kind of atom. Molecule-is a chemical unit made up of two or more atoms joined together. Macromolecules- giant molecules

Sratum corneum-the outermost layer that is flat and completely dead Dermis - Is thicker than the epidermis and contains only living cells. Sebaceous glands - are usually connected to hair follicles. - They produce an oily substance called

Is the outermost covering of the body tissue, which protects the internal organs the environment Epidermis - is made up of flat cells that resemble paving stones when viewed under the microscope Different layers of the epidermis: Stratum basale-this contains a single row of cells that continuously divide, with the new cells being pushed outwards Stratum spinosum- this contains of 8-10 rows of cells covered in spin-like protections Sweat Glands Stratum granulosum-here, their nucleic start to break - Lie in the dermis down and they become filled with keratin - Each one is connected to a small depression in the surface called sweat pore.
