Why is chemistry often referred to as the central science?
A
Because it is the oldest science and forms the basis for all scientific laws.
B
Because it deals exclusively with living organisms and their processes.
C
Because it connects and overlaps with both physical and biological sciences, enabling understanding of matter and its transformations.
D
Because it focuses only on the classification of elements and compounds.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that chemistry is called the 'central science' because it bridges other scientific disciplines, particularly physics and biology.
Recognize that chemistry studies matter, its properties, and the changes it undergoes, which are fundamental concepts in both physical and biological sciences.
Note that physics explains the fundamental principles governing matter and energy, while biology focuses on living organisms; chemistry connects these by explaining molecular and atomic interactions.
Realize that chemistry provides the tools and knowledge to understand processes such as chemical reactions in living organisms and material properties in physical systems.
Conclude that chemistry's role in linking physical laws with biological functions makes it central to a comprehensive understanding of science.
