Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
If i want to be a chemistry scientist, is it important to study physics and mathematics? How many subjects are required to study to become a chemical scientist?
Accepted Answer
Absolutely! Physics and mathematics are foundational to chemistry. Think of it like this: Physics provides the laws that govern the behavior of matter and energy, which is the very foundation of chemistry. Mathematics is the language we use to express and manipulate those laws. You can't fully understand chemical reactions, bonding, or even the structure of molecules without a solid grasp of these subjects. As for how many subjects you need, the path to becoming a chemical scientist can vary, but typically includes a strong foundation in general chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and often biochemistry. These areas will give you the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to succeed in research or industry.
