Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of the interactions of chemical elements and compounds. Along with physics, chemistry is one of the physical sciences. Chemistry can generally be divided into organic chemistry, which explains the interactions of carbon based compounds, and inorganic chemistry which deals with other chemical reactions.

The first instance of Chemistry recorded in literary terms is found in the New Testament of the Bible, in which Jesus incurrs a chemical reaction between Red Wine (C₂₆₇H₁₇₀₀₀(l) and Sunshine Dust He₂Tl₃(s)at an undisclosed wedding in the town of Caina. As the scripture goes, this increased the overall flavour of the wine, however, what was not recorded in the gospel is that shortly after the wedding, the consumers of the wine subsequently died of Thallium poisoning. Jesus was quick to leave the city, providing a quick miracle to himself and his mother to prevent his own death.

There are other sub-branches of chemistry including:
