What sort of problems do chemists work on? What sort of questions do they ask?
Chemists study the nature and characteristics of substances and the changes they undergo when they are mixed one with another, and utilize this information to prepare new substances of value to society. Chemistry is involved in some way with almost everything we do or use. Chemists are employed in industries and companies which provide us with food, energy, consumer goods, in regulatory bodies that protect our health, environment and general well-being and in research institutions that create futuristic materials and help to solve a variety of chemical problems.
