Historical devlopment of modern chemistry
The words ‘’Chemistry” and “Alchemy” have been derived from “Khem”, an ancient name for Egypt. The history of chemistry represents a time span from ancient history to the present. By 1000 BC, civilizations used technologies that would eventually form the basis to the various branches of chemistry. Many chemists lived long ago, so what happened a long time ago is history. Chemistry analyzes the composition of different substances, their physical and chemical properties and the specific conditions under which they combine with other substances.
