What are the charms of chemistry?

As one of the basic disciplines of modern science, chemistry has always been despised by people. The reason is that chemistry is too empirical compared with rigorous and philosophical mathematics and deepening and magical physics, and it is basically an experimental science in people's impression, but lacks a profound theoretical basis. Although modern quantum chemistry makes up for these defects in many ways, many chemists do rely on experience in many cases.

General chemical reactions, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and polymer chemistry are basically about the gain and loss of electrons and the recombination between atoms. These reactions are basically like Lego toys, which can be arranged and combined according to certain rules to form various molecules and then form various materials. Compared with the abstraction of mathematics and the endless exploration of smaller and smaller elementary particles by physics, chemistry seems to be playing with design and creativity. So for contemporary chemists, after mastering the basic laws and rules of chemical reactions and other tools, they are basically designing molecules. The same molecule can achieve many ways, some simple, some complex, some efficient, so each has its own needs. So, this is one of the charms of chemistry. Although too many scientists in history attribute many reactions to their own names, you may still find new combinations, new molecules and new materials. These accidents, these novel explorations and expectations for the unknown are another charm of chemistry. In addition, chemistry and molecules can basically be used to explain various problems and phenomena in daily life. Because these phenomena are mostly related to the characteristics of molecular and atomic chemicals. As a branch of chemistry, biochemistry is not as pure as chemistry in the general sense, but biomolecules have not been thoroughly studied by human beings for so many years. Biochemistry is basically a science that studies biology and human beings themselves. Every discovery will change or increase people's understanding of various molecules with physiological functions. How such a complex system of human beings is "assembled" by so many complex molecules is still difficult to explain. These unknowns are still confusing. Of course, the exploration of these unknowns is the charm of chemistry.
