  8. Why Study Chemistry? Aims of Chemistry 100! • Introduce the basics of chemical knowledge • Improve your problem solving skills. • Want you to gain an appreciation and understanding of stories of chemical and/or biochemical relevance to everyday life! • Greenhouse effect • O3(ozone) depletion • Green energy

  9. The ‘Central’ Science • Applications of Chemistry in • Pharmacy  Adding functional groups to molecules to improve activity of drugs; • Drug molecules of lower toxicity, designing new drugs from scratch, requires chemistry. • Polymer Science  The new “plastics”, biodegradable polymers, composite materials, thermoplastics, etc.

  10. The Central Science (cont’d) • Criminology • DNA fingerprinting. • CSI (various incarnations)?? • The Auto Industry – Electric cars and Hybrids • extensive research on batteries • newer stronger lightweight plastics and materials • lightweight frames and plastic body panels.

  11. The Auto Industry • Freon replacements for air-conditioning systems • Alternative Fuel Vehicles (Flexi-Fuel Cars) • H2 powered • E85 powered (ethanol/gasoline combination) • Hybrids
