Living by Chemistry Review - Chapter 1 - Living Matter Part 1

Living by Chemistry Review - Chapter 1 - Living Matter Part 1The three words that come to mind when I think of Living by Chemistry are this: 'Neutrinos, Yes!' There is no doubting the fact that we will be in good hands in this book. Each of the three sections contains a lot of important information, including the news about an experiment done by Dr. John Thomas to use neutrinos to find alternative energy sources for people around the world.When you read the first part, you will see how the book is written so well and how the title is related to one of the many types of matter, known as an atom. We know that atoms are one of the most stable things in the world. In Living by Chemistry, one will discover the concepts of quantum mechanics that were explained and how the single particle was formed.However, the first part of the book begins with the statement: 'Contrary to all beliefs, we are not born like one of the particles.' Then he explained how an atom gets formed and what the physic ists and chemists did before the discovery of neutrinos. The three sections that contain living matter are the group of atoms, the subatomic particles and the colloids.When I read the section about colloids, I began to understand the living substances and how it became a problem for scientists when they discovered the existence of colloids. Colloids have the characteristics of both liquids and solids. Of course, the only way to distinguish between them is to find one liquid and another solid.These living substances include oils, gas, water, plasma, gases, solids. Molecules can be found in the molecular solids as well. These materials can be formed by the interaction of electrons with each other and others to form a substance.When these materials interact in chemical reactions, they may end up being found in very small amounts but the process is continuous. The process that produces these living substances was long believed to be impossible but now that we know of the existence of th ese materials, we can still hope to create a method to create such substances in the laboratory.The first part of the book does not dwell on the origin of the universe but on the essential roles of molecules in the creation of our world. The second part of the book focuses on the concept of the subatomic particles. It is possible that the little snippets of the third section, which will reveal the discovery of neutrinos, will make us curious to what else there is in this world.I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning about living matter and all the possibilities that are possible. I especially recommend this book for those who love science and want to learn more about how the universe works. For me, I enjoyed the great story told in the beginning of the book and the interesting thought processes that came from the end of the chapter.
