ABSTRACT

We all are made of chemicals and everything around us is made of chemicals. Everything we hear, see, smell, taste, and touch involve chemistry and chemicals (matter). Hearing, seeing, tasting, and touching all involve intricate series of chemical reactions and interactions in our body. Many of the changes we observe in the world around are caused by chemical reactions. Chemistry is not limited to beakers and laboratories. It is all around us, and the better we know chemistry, the better we know our world. Chemistry is present in every aspect of life. Syllabus of Chemistry in engineering stream extend the knowledge acquired at Jr. College level. The subject is offered as ‘Engineering Chemistry’ for the students in their first year of engineering and it is common for all branches of engineering. Engineering Chemistry forms a bridge between basic sciences and engineering subjects. Engineering branches need the basics of Chemistry directly or indirectly.
