Some schools begin to study chemistry in the 7th grade, in others only in the 8th grade. Chemistry is a hard science, but it is incredibly interesting and important. People still do not know everything about this science. Every year, chemists discover something new on our planet.
Who is a chemical scientist?
Consider the definition in more detail. A chemical scientist is a scientist or specialist in the field of chemistry who has received a special education. Such scientists study chemical elements, that is, matter and its properties. They use accumulated knowledge to study and discover new substances.
The most important discoveries in chemistry
In chemistry, hundreds of important discoveries are observed, for example, the discovery of such a chemical element as oxygen, the study of the chemical structure, the detection of electrons, the radioactivity of certain chemical elements, the creation of a periodic table of elements, and many others. All these discoveries are handled by a chemical scientist who first studies them and then, on the basis of the knowledge gained, tries to draw the necessary conclusions and discover something of his own.
Russian chemists
Russian chemical scientists are not far behind others. Every year, more and more schoolchildren and students choose the field of chemistry and biology.
Russia is famous for scientists, for example, such as Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov, who studied molecular kinetic theory, Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev, who created an irreplaceable periodic table of all chemical elements and wrote the first organic textbook in Russia, Vladimir Vasilievich Markovnikov (studied oil and many other substances )
Perhaps the most famous Russian chemist is Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev, which students are told about in their very first chemistry lessons. This chemical scientist created a table of periodic elements, thanks to which it is much easier and more affordable to study chemistry. In addition, he wrote several hundred works, conducted thousands of experiments and studies. Students study his work at universities. For many years, Dmitry Ivanovich worked at the university, where he lectured to ordinary students. Today, all his works are a real storehouse of knowledge for beginning chemists.
Chemistry is a very difficult subject, but necessary in real life. Chemistry studies everything that is around us, which allows us to live on this Earth. Thanks to this science, we have learned a lot more about our planet. A real scientist-chemist should love this science, constantly study something new.
