INTRODUCTION

 Chemistry is one of the essential science subjects. According to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary (2008), chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and various elementary forms of matter. Mifflin (2011) defined chemistry as the science of the composition, structure, properties and reactions of matter especially of atomic and molecular systems. Sarah (2015) defined chemistry as a physical science and the study of the properties of and interactions between matter and energy. In other words, chemistry is a way to study the properties, characteristics, and physical and chemical changes of matter.
Chemistry has helped a lot in recreating things, chemists come after God for the fact that God creates while the chemist recreates. The importance of chemistry to humanity cannot be overemphasized because good wine needs no bush.  To say that chemistry has no impact to human race is poisonous to the health (Aniodohs, 2001).
