Chemistry for the day: Everything is a chemical I am so sorry for this sudden fact drop but I just want to stop the misunderstanding that all chemicals are harmful and that people really should stop mistaking all chemicals for the carcinogens, preservatives or even the toxins that are added to our food products in the form of pesticides, enhancers, seasonings or any form of additive.
So by definition, chemicals are a substance obtained by a chemical process or producing a chemical effect. Seems simple enough, right? But then what are these chemical processes? They vary but the simplest is your bonding then the oxidation and reductions of certain materials We must never forget about **chemical bonding such as your covalent, ionic and metal bonding**. Relating this back to the topic, we can start with the most basic of necessities, water.
**Water is a product of ionic bonding, and thus a chemical** So is the air we breathe. **Air is basically nitrogen, Oxygen, carbon and a few more noble gases**. One will never be able to escape the fact that everything that surrounds them is a product of a chemical process that even one’s self and be counted as a chemical because of the far more complex chemical process than the few mentioned, seeing as the body is composed as Carbon, hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur and some other significant trace metals like magnesium, aluminum, iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, etc. **When can a chemical be counted as organic, then?** Well the only thing that sets chemicals apart is their main constituent. **Chemicals are only considered as organic if they are made of Hydrogen, Carbon and a few more non-metal elements** that I keep mentioning. The specific study of these organic chemicals is called **organic chemistry**. Otherwise, it will belong to **inorganic chemistry**. Here, the studies focus on metals, salts and in the more complex parts, organometallics. I will stop here in hopes that enough awareness was given. Because people need to stop mistaking the harmful chemicals with the naturally occurring ones that constitute you and give your life. Think about how carbon feels despite how hard it’s trying to build your body and your cells @Macronald , This is basically a rant but oh well https://read.cash/c/vibes-cc13

Yes it is a misconception hat all artificial chemicals are bad.
plus not all chemicals are artificial, dear ;-; majority are still naturally occuring
Yes I know, but people have misconception about artificial chemicals specifically.
yeah. Too many misconceptions that it's getting sad for me
so you are a die hard chemistry lover.
I am a chemist, dear XD a fresh grad, that is
Organic healthy food is chemical. Artificial chemicals, are the problem.
Yeah it is but then people easily mistake the term "chemical" for every harmful substance out there without knowing the gravity of it
True. Every thing is made of matter and matter has its chemistry, no doubts about that. And these chemicals work on the physics principles 😉😃
Wasn't aware you enjoyed physics?
I love physics. Specially once I came into practical life and started working.
There's physics in your line of work???
Well I am in aviation so most of the flying principals follow the law of physics
Ohhh that's so cool! True though but i was never that big a fan of physics. I only liked it when it went to quantum mechanics
Yeah I like that also but it is very complicated and you need to read too much to understand the concepts
I have enough a background on it to understand without reading that much on it, i guess. I just dind the sole purpose of quantum mechanics funny sometimes
I don’t have any background on that. But I love it whenever I read anything about it and about any new discoveries
There hasn't been much discoveries in quantum mechanics except for the area of nuclear chemistry though. And that uodate are among i like the most
Yes and those topics are that I like to read and know more. It is an interesting subject for me
Really now? You're into nuclear chemistry? Have you read how they were close to turning bismuth i to gold? OwO
Ni I haven’t read about that yet but now that you mentioned, I will surely check it out
It's an old research that was trying to prove alchemy theories. I just remembered since it's in line with this article 😂
Lol. Alchemist were after gold all their lives and still nobody succeeded
Well that research got close. Though the yield was highly impure but gold was still produced
Ok that is something new for my information. Never new that gold was actually produced
I thought you were gonna cheçk it out :< check it out so you know more about the experiment! It's not that long a read
Sure. I will find it and read about it. Sounds interesting tough. Science is fascinating
water is a profuct of ionic bond🙄🙄🙄? Isn't it a product of covalent bond😑😑? http://prnt.sc/tyxvv0
Atoms in water molecule is attached with polarized covalent bond, ionic bod made only between metal and non metal atoms.
It was already answered 😂😂😂 anyways. You i think you're thinking hydrogen bonding which is basically how water interact. But water is ionic
🙄🙄🙄I am weak in chemistry and I have no idea how water is ionic🙄🙄
Ionic bonds base on charge difference. Oxygen is negative and hydrogen is positive. Different charges will attract so now you have your ionic water well technically it's polar covalent but then not everyone will understand that😂
Actually I am not that dumb too🙄🙄🙄. more that . 9 means ionic and less the . 9 means covalent... Hydrogen electro negetivity 2.1 and oxygen 3.5 may be?? so difference is 1.4 in this basis you are saying water is ionic?
There's polar covalency in between and i forgot what else but the electronegativity can't be that high for hydrogen. And if i recall, it's not 9 though i forgot the number too
0 . 9 as far as I remember and hydrogen electronegetivity 2.1🙄🙄
I need to review my basics again ;-;
http://prnt.sc/tz006u ops🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
this chemicals are harming our natura if people are not aware about this nothing can be change😐
No dear, i think you're misunderstanding the text here. My point is yhat everything, from your cells to the water you drink, to the sir you breathe is made of chemicals so everything is a chemical, in a sense
We live in the world where everything is chemical. That is so true
Yes! That's why i hope people get this too
