atomos, most influential Greek philosopher
Democritus
added ether or aether to the four elements
Aristotle
transforming common metals into gold
alchemy
emergence of systematic mining and smelting
Georg Bauer
focuses on the study of compounds containing carbon and hydrogen, often related to living organisms and their processes
key: containing carbon and hydrogen
Organic Chemistry
Focuses on the analysis of substances to determine their composition and properties
key: analysis of substances
Analytical Chemistry
Deals with the study of the behavior of matter in chemical systems at the molecular and atomic levels
key: behavior of matter, atomic levels
Physical chemistry
Investigates the chemical processes occurring in living organisms and the molecular mechanisms underlying biological function
key: biological function
Biochemistry
Studies the composition and the behavior of matter that does not contain carbon hydrogen bonds
key: does not contain carbon hydrogen bonds
Inorganic Chemistry
Swiss physician who discovered the medicinal applications of minerals
Paracelsus
A scientist who described that an element as a substance cannot be broken down into simpler substances
Robert Boyle
The father of modern chemistry
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier
established the modern atomic theory

Food and Drug Administration and Department of Health
examples of supplements
ginkgo biloba and oligofructose
plant derived non essential nutrients
Phytochemicals
what were the earliest practical applications of chemistry
Pottery, metallurgy, and dyeing
branch of science that deals with the study of matter, it’s composition, properties and structure, and the changes it undergoes.
