Just wondering, what term is used in the Commonwealth for a chemist who does not work in a drugstore or has nothing to do with pharmaceutical subjects? knoodelhed 11:11, 4 April 2004 (UTC)
The photo is great! No safety goggles, no gloves, no lab coat. What do we want to convey here? -- 68.231.48.106 09:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
still bad pictures, why is she pouring solutions out of the fumehood? i vote for a picture of woodward or pauling or someone like that. heres an good one if it can be used http://www.chemistry.msu.edu/Portraits/images/woodwardc.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.27.132 ( talk) 22:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Note: Mbuc91 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) copied Encarta's article on Chemistry [1] and some of the content of that article was merged into this one. I have merged the post-copyvio changes. — Quarl ( talk) 2006-01-20 05:05 Z
I deleted the names from the photos. The photos were clearly put up for the purpose of promoting the two chemists Julie perkins and Laura miller. Neither have made groundbreaking discoveries in chemistry or were laureates of any scientific prize. Also, it is clear that both pictures were a collaboration of Julie perkins and laura Miller, as Perkins is seen sitting in the background of Luara Millers photo. I deleted the names from the photos, as it serves a purpose of promoting two chemists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottokarf ( talk • contribs) 18:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Seriously, do they use computers for any reason: Working, writing, job resposibilities, knowledge or skills needed? Pece Kocovski 01:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
well to elaborate a bit, all complicated instruments used in chemistry use computers as their output, most useful databases for things like articles, reactions, etc are online, like Bduke said quantum chemistry and physical chemistry rely heavily on computers for calculations. there are others but i can't think of more just now —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.27.132 ( talk) 22:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
The definition of organic chemistry (and others) is circular. I prefer the one that organic chemistry deals with molecules containing carbon, generally, while inorganic is everything else. Granted there are obvious exceptions, but at least there is a start at what the field is. 4.246.233.243 22:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)J Caroon
agree with first poster, that is a bad definition regardless of whether it is more correct. the description tells people nothing about the field, the caroon's descriptions serves pretty well as a working definition may be refined to something like "molecules with a carbon backbone" or something along those lines. while organic chemistry doesn't deal with the simpler carbon compounds (while they are used often as reagents) it is really just pedantic nit picking to exclude the definition because of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.27.132 ( talk) 23:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello chemists! I bid y'all a warm hello. I came here today to inform thee of two Wikipedia sites that might be of interest to y'alls'. I've edited both of these pages, but since i am neither a chemist nor a college/graduate student, I came here to ask for your help. The former needs fixing from a chemist, whereas the latter doesn't have a single reference, until i put some. Additionally, the computations in the latter prove too much also for my teeny brain. Please abet me in fixing these pages, fellow wikipedians! Thank you y'all for reading this tedious query. Have a nice day! Ice bear johny ( talk) 09:44, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Oops sorry wrong talk page. Big oof for me there. Anyways I've gone to the right page. Sorry for my erroneous query. Ice bear johny ( talk) 09:48, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
I made the suggestion on the History of chemistry talk page. Maybe it is also applicable here, for the history section. Tapputi has her own page that states she is the first recorded chemist but she is nowhere to be found in this article. Denisrodman88 ( talk) 15:26, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
