Chemists probe the fundamental concepts of nature and deal with all substances at the molecular level--their composition, properties, and transformation into new substances. The work performed by chemists has a significant impact on other disciplines, including medicine, materials science, genetics, biology, pharmacy, food science, and environmental science.
