Find Out if Chemistry Is the Right Major for You!

1. Are you fascinated by how substances interact and transform through chemical reactions?

2. Do you enjoy hands-on laboratory work like mixing reagents, titrations, or synthesizing compounds?

3. Are you comfortable working with quantitative data, calculations, and precision measurements?

4. Are you interested in analytical techniques (e.g., spectroscopy, chromatography) to identify and quantify substances?

5. Does the idea of designing new materials, drugs, or sustainable chemicals motivate you?

6. Are you interested in understanding environmental chemistry and how chemical processes affect ecosystems?

7. Do you enjoy reading and interpreting scientific literature in chemistry?

8. Are you comfortable working across subfields (organic, inorganic, physical, analytical) to build a broad foundation?

9. Do you enjoy troubleshooting experiments and refining procedures when results don’t match expectations?

10. Do you like collaborating with others in research groups or industrial teams to tackle chemical challenges?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Chemistry
Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with compounds composed of atoms, i.e. elements, and molecules, i.e. combinations of atoms: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other compounds. Chemistry addresses topics such as how atoms and molecules interact via chemical bonds to form new chemical compounds. There are four types of chemical bonds: covalent bonds, in which compounds share one or more electron(s); ionic bonds, in which a compound donates one or more electrons to another compound to produce ions (cations and anions); hydrogen bonds; and Van der Waals force bonds.

I was an atheist, finding no reason to postulate the existence of any truths outside of mathematics, physics and chemistry. But then I went to medical school, and encountered life and death issues at the bedsides of my patients. Challenged by one of those patients, who asked "What do you believe, doctor?", I began searching for answers.

We can no more have exact religious thinking without theology, than exact mensuration and astronomy without mathematics, or exact iron-making without chemistry,

Chemistry
Just think of the differences today. A young person gets interested in chemistry and is given a chemical set. But it doesn't contain potassium cyanide. It doesn't even contain copper sulfate or anything else interesting because all the interesting chemicals are considered dangerous substances. Therefore, these budding young chemists don't get a chance to do anything engrossing with their chemistry sets. As I look back, I think it is pretty remarkable that Mr. Ziegler, this friend of the family, would have so easily turned over one-third of an ounce of potassium cyanide to me, an eleven-year-old boy.
