Chemistry is the science that studies matter at the atomic to macromolecular scale, the reactions, transformations and aggregations of matter, as well as the energy and entropy released or absorbed during these processes. In short, chemistry studies molecules, crystals and metals, and is concerned with the composition and statistical properties of such structures, as well as their transformations and interactions to become materials encountered in everyday life.
