Curd formation from milk,formation of vinegar from sugarcane juice on keepingfor prolonged time and rusting of iron are some of theexamples of changes which we come across many times.For the sake of convenience, science is sub-divided intovarious disciplines: chemistry, physics, biology, geology,etc. The branch of science that studies the preparation,properties, structure and reactions of material substancesis called chemistry.
