00:02 Good day students.
00:15 My name is Adekunle.
00:16 I'll be teaching you the subject chemistry.
00:19 The topic is introduction to chemistry.
00:23 What is chemistry?
00:25 Chemistry is a branch of pure science
00:28 that deals with the properties, composition
00:30 and uses of matter.
00:32 What are the careers in chemistry?
00:34 There are many career parts.
00:35 A personal study chemistry can choose from.
00:38 They include teaching service, chemistry teachers,
00:42 from chemistry you can become a lecturer,
00:44 in polytechnics, in grades of education,
00:47 and in universities.
00:48 Also you can become a laboratory assistant.
00:51 The next career part is chemical engineering.
00:54 We acknowledge your physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
00:58 You can become a chemical engineer
01:00 that involves the processes of combating raw materials
01:03 into finished products.
01:05 The next career part is consumer products chemistry.
01:08 Whether they produce all the stuff we use at home,
01:13 be it toothpaste shampoo,
01:15 any other things that we basically use at home.
01:18 The next career part is water chemistry
01:21 that I involve in producing
01:23 good quality water for use at home.
01:28 Also, we have green chemistry.
01:31 Those in this field produce
01:32 a environmentally friendly product
01:34 compared to non-evalupling
01:36 environmentally friendly product.
01:40 The next is forensic chemistry.
01:42 You can see these people in the aspect of crime.
01:45 The enabled also investigate crime very well.
01:49 The next aspect, very important,
01:51 is the medical chemistry.
01:53 Those people are in the health services.
01:56 We talk about pharmacists, biochemists, chemists,
01:59 nutritionists, their teachings, doctors, nurses,
02:02 and so on.
02:04 The next aspect is petroleum and petroleum
02:07 and petrochemical industry.
02:09 Those people involve in processing, crude oil,
02:13 and its fractions.
02:15 The next also, they involve in application chemistry,
02:19 research chemists, chemical engineers,
02:21 and their lives, which also includes laboratory assistants.
02:25 The next career part is manufacturing industry.
02:29 These people are the researchers and chemical engineers.
02:33 They also involve in manufacturing produce
02:35 like steel and ironworks.
02:37 Also, without feeling to mention,
02:40 agricultural science, physoology, forestry,
02:44 food technologies, and research chemistry.
02:46 The next soft topic we look into
02:50 is application of chemistry.
02:52 The knowledge of chemistry is used
02:54 in the production of our basic needs and improvements
02:56 in the quality of our lives, what are these areas.
02:59 The first one we mention is food production and preservation.
03:03 These people involve the production of fertilizers
03:06 in pesticides and food preservatives
03:08 that we use in majorly in our farms.
03:12 The next is medicine.
03:14 The production of drugs and various medical services
03:17 as a result of what chemistry.
03:19 The next application of chemistry is in the military
03:21 and space science.
03:23 In the military, we talk about the production of our munitions
03:25 like Gompowder and the species asks you
03:28 continue the story of chemistry.
03:29 You get to understand this.
03:31 Also, space science that involve the production of species
03:34 rocket by virtue of the knowledge of chemistry.
03:37 The next aspect is transportation.
03:39 All your firsts, you use transportation.
03:42 You use it in transportation.
03:44 The next is also production of cement,
03:46 concrete, steel, bricks, and ties,
03:49 which are used in constructing our houses.
03:54 The next is clothing.
03:56 The clothes you wear are tester industries,
03:59 mixtures of the knowledge of chemistry.
04:01 There is nothing that has a good aspect,
04:03 has a good part without having a bad part.
04:06 What I was talking about next is adverse effect of chemistry.
04:10 Those are the negative things we can bring
04:13 from the knowledge of chemistry,
04:15 which I do encourage you to look into these.
04:18 But we still have to talk about it.
04:20 What are these adverse effects?
04:21 The first one is pollution.
04:23 That version of the chemistry,
04:25 we discover so many things that the product
04:29 from chemistry caused in our environment.
04:31 And that is one of it is chemical waste,
04:34 the oil spillage, the radioactive waste.
04:36 The next we look at is drug abuse,
04:38 as we keep hearing in our news of recent
04:42 and even in time pass.
04:44 We talk about additive drugs like cocaine,
04:46 heroin, and more things.
04:47 These are products of chemistry also.
04:50 The next we look at is corrosion,
04:52 corrosion of materials are like roasting of iron.
04:56 By version of the addition of water and oxygen
04:58 to all these materials is corrosion them.
05:01 The last aspect we talk about is poisoning.
05:04 All the chemicals used for poisoning are actually
05:08 as result of the knowledge of chemistry,
05:10 or the application of heat.
05:13 The last but not the least is scientific method.
05:18 As a good chemist, as a scientist,
05:21 how do we agree about our researches?
05:23 How do we come about theories and laws?
05:26 These are the things we talk about on that segment.
05:29 The various steps we take are scientists to solve problems.
05:32 And the first step we are like to mention is observation.
05:36 What is observation?
05:37 The use of our senses to look at our environment.
05:40 And see, oh, this is how things are going.
05:43 Hope this is what I observe.
05:44 As a good scientist, you observe.
05:46 And the next thing you do after your observation
05:48 is you create an hypothesis.
05:50 And this is statement which may not be universally true.
05:53 Or what do you do?
05:54 By virtue of your observation,
05:55 you look at how some patterns are going about.
05:59 And then you try to form a basis.
06:01 And after that, you move to experiment.
06:03 You don't carry out an experiment on that.
06:05 To check whether what you have observed
06:08 and create an hypothesis on is actually true or not.
06:11 If you check, you also need to double check
06:14 by continuing your experiments.
06:16 That is under further experiments.
06:18 Your camera for the experiments
06:19 and allows other scientists to test your hypotheses.
06:23 After they have done a good job on that,
06:26 we created theory within the limit of our available evidence.
06:31 And if our hypothesis is well done,
06:35 then we had to modify it or discard it if it's not,
06:39 if it doesn't qualify.
06:41 Lastly, we go into our law.
06:45 Scientific theory becomes a law.
06:47 After it has been tested and proven true,
06:49 without any exception.
06:50 We can see from here that scientists are not ordinary people.
06:54 They work very well to create a law.
06:57 So any law in science is most times authentic.
07:02 And with this class, I believe I can also test you.
07:06 These are the evaluations.
07:07 Number one, make sure five carriers
07:09 that require the knowledge of chemistry.
07:11 Number two, least five carriers
07:14 that do not require the knowledge of chemistry.
07:17 Number three, state scientific methods
07:19 from the first to the last.
07:20 I believe you know them.
07:21 The next one is state five applications of chemistry.
07:24 I also believe you know that too.
07:25 Describe four adverse effects of chemistry.
07:30 Thank you for watching.
07:32 My name is Adi Kulin, see you next class.
