Chemists
- Trained in the study of chemistry
- Study matter and its properties
- Measure chemical properties
- Study molecules and atoms and their reactions with each other
- Ex: biochemist, organ-metallic, and analytical chemist, medicinal chemist, physical chemist, and inorganic chemists.
A chemist is a scientist that is trained in the study of chemistry.
Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. They carefully describe these properties in term of quantities in the level of molecules and their atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties.
Ex: biochemist, organ-metallic, and analytical chemist, medicinal chemist, physical chemist, inorganic chemist.

work and equipment
- Specific work depends on the specialty of each field.
- Broad work includes studying reactions, the interaction of atoms/molecules and solving problems/questions based on these observations.
- Equipment may include balances, beakers, burners, crucibles, tongs, pipets etc.
Ex 1: Biochemist- study of chemical processes within organisms. Recently used to understand how biological molecules that create processes within living cells. Investigate the chemical processes that take place inside all living things
1. Pharmaceutical- developing new products, quality control, checking for safety of products
2. Hospital- Carrying out tests on blood and other fluids, researching a cause of a disease, exploring new methods of treatment
3. Agriculture and environment- genetically engineering crops, improving the quantity of crops, extending the shelf life of products.
Ex 2: Analytical chemistry- science of obtaining, processing, and communicating information about the composition and structure of matter.
1. Determine the composition of substances
2. Perform tests on compositions
3. Create reports in their results

Chemistry play a role?
- Chemistry is a closely related subject to the careers observed.
- A sub-discipline of Chemistry may be crucial within this job.
1. Zoology- biochemistry is an important role in understanding biology and how organisms interact. Understanding how atoms and molecules interact is the key to understand life itself and the processes within cells.
2. Pediatrician- Developing medicines that will interact with the cells/molecules in the body. Administering medicine in the correct amounts for different sized people (smaller doses for children).
3. Astronomer- Understanding the chemical processes in the space environment.

Some knowledge of CHEMISTRY?
- Chemistry may play a minor role in these careers.
- Can be carried out by those without in-depth knowledge about chemistry.
1. Soap makers- In order to make soap you must make lye by mixing fats or oils with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide.
2. Hair stylist- Dying hair requires alkaline, which is a chemical that opens the cuticles and allow the dyes to enter cortex of the hair. Peroxide is used as a oxidizing agents which removes preexisting color.
3. Chef- gastronomers study how to create the best flavors/textures in food by studying the chemical processes that occur within them during heating/cooling etc. and the rates at which to achieve the desired state.
