The girl listening to music on her iPod probably isn’t thinking much about chemistry, but if it were not for the inventions made possible by chemical discoveries there would be no music to fill her spare time. In this chapter you begin your study of a science that affects your life every single day. As you progress through your chem- istry course, we hope you enjoy learning about how the properties of atoms and molecules affects the world in which you live. Granger Wootz/Getty Images, Inc.
