What is Chemistry
Chemistry consists of the study and analysis of substances and matter. It also includes the observation of properties, composition and reactions in relation to the interaction with other energy and matter, such as heat and light.Profile of a Chemistry Organization
Formed in 1919, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is a voluntary, non-governmental non-profit-making association of organizations known as national adhering organizations (NAOs).Each NAO represents the chemists of a member country. IUPAC is recognized as the world authority on chemical nomenclature, terminology, standardized methods for measurement, atomic weights and many other critically evaluated data. In more recent years, IUPAC has been pro-active in establishing a wide range of conferences and projects designed to promote and stimulate modern developments in chemistry, and also to assist in aspects of chemical education and the public understanding of chemistry.
IUPAC provides Chemistry International, its bi-monthly news magazine, to individuals and organizations throughout the world. The monthly journal, Pure and Applied Chemistry, contains IUPAC Technical Reports, Recommendations, and selected lectures from IUPAC-sponsored symposia. Individuals may show their support for IUPAC by joining the IUPAC Affiliate Membership Program through their local coordinators. More information may be found on the IUPAC website at http://www.iupac.org.
IUPAC's next Congress and General Assembly will be held in Beijing, China 14-19 August 2005.
