The study of Chemistry has contributed greatly to the provision of the basic necessities of life. These include:
1. Agriculture:
The use of fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides has helped to increase food production and preservatives used in preserving food.
Soil analysis, Agricultural implements are all available as a result of Chemistry.
2. Clothing:
Through intensive chemical research, many textile industries have been established for the manufacture of textile materials.
3. Medicine:
Drugs (pharmaceuticals), and surgical equipment are available from chemical research and technology.
4. Industry:
Manufacturing of goods, food processing, industrial equipment, and fuels.
5. Military:
Chemistry has contributed to the discovery of explosives used by the military, arms and ammunition, helmets, bullet-proof, etc.
6. Housing:
The house constructed uses the following chemical products: cement, concrete, steel, bricks, and tiles.
7. Transportation:
Modern transportation like motor cars, aircraft, and motorcycles was made possible by chemists producing suitable fuels and structural materials like alloys, which are light strong, and heat-resistant.
