Chemistry: history:
Chemistry began about ad 100 when people practiced alchemy, attempting to transform metals into gold. Modern chemistry was established in the late 18th century, as scientists began experimentation of the elemental processes and interactions that create the gases, liquids, and solids that compose our physical world. As the field of chemistry developed in the 19th and 20th centuries, chemists learned how to create new substances that have many important applications in our lives.
