A chemist is a scientist trained in the science of chemistry. In the British Isles and some Commonwealth countries, chemist may also refer to a dispensing chemist, a pharmacist, or a general retailer of chemicals (usually for medicinal purposes).

Chemists study the composition of matter and its small-scale properties such as density and acidity instead of large-scale properties like size and shape. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. Chemists use this knowledge to learn the composition, structure, chemical reactivity, and properties of unfamiliar substances, as well as to reproduce and synthesize large quantities of useful naturally occurring substances and create new artificial substances and useful processes. Chemists may specialize in any number of subdisciplines of chemistry. Materials scientists and metallurgists share much of the same education and skills with chemists.

Education


Jobs for chemists usually require at least a bachelor's degree, but many positions, especially those in research, require a Ph.D.. Most undergraduate programs emphasize mathematics and physics as well as chemistry, partly because chemistry is also known as "Central Science", thus chemists ought to have an all-rounded knowledge about science. At the Master's level and higher, students tend to specialize in a particular field. Fields of specialization include biochemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, theoretical chemistry, quantum chemistry and physical chemistry. Post-doctorate experience may be required for certain positions.
