Chemistry is known as the science of atoms and molecules which includes the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. The history of chemistry represents a time span from ancient history to the present. In fact, the present scientific form of chemistry actually evolved in the 18th century, when careful quantitative experiments by Antoine Lavoisier, Joseph Proust, and John Dalton resulted in the law of conservation of mass, the law of constant proportion, and the law of multiple proportions, which laid the groundwork for Dalton's atomic theory of matter. In this regard, French chemist Lavoisier is regarded as the father of modern chemistry.
Since this course is mainly to the students who are not studying chemistry at the moment, the main objective of the course is to introduce the students about the evolution of Chemistry by understanding its history and the importance of chemistry in our daily life.- Teacher: Dr. Jaykrushna Das
