Apparently not enough!
• Still few applications of new chemistry students• Too much diversity in studies on different topics of chemistry
• Chemical Technology• Sustainable Molecular Science & Technology• Chemistry• Pharmacy• Food Technology• Life Science and Technology• Etc,
All topics contain a very important part of chemistryBut how do we explain this diversity to High School students?Can we change this?
