Wherever there is element, there is chemistry. Various gaseous elements are there in the air. There are continuous chemical changes occurring in the air. The same is there in the soil we are living on . It is happening now, it happened in the ancient days too. The earth was highly heated at the moment of its creation. There was no wind, nor any animal. It took millions of years of chemical reactions for the creation of atmosphere, water and thousands of other elements. These altogether contributed to the habitability of the earth for animals. All animals including human beings, microscopic lives like bacteria, amoeba, huge trees and animals have bodies which contain various kinds of chemicals. Each body is a kind of chemical factory where chemical reactions are taking place every moment. We live because of these chemical reactions. Again, with the advent of civilization, humans have produced various necessary items and products by means of chemical reactions and put them to their use. For example, the dresses you put on, the paste you brush your teeth with, the comb you fix your hair with, the cosmetics you use on your skin- all are chemical products. Besides, soap, toilet cleaner, life saving drugs, all are chemicals too. We use fertilizers and insecticides in our field crops, use petrol, diesel etc. in vehicles. These are industrial products made out of chemical reactions. In fact, the scope of Chemistry is so vast that it cannot be summarized easily.
