  • Abstract

    A fundamental component of human existence, chemistry influences the advancement of industry, agriculture, healthcare, environmental management, and security. Critical issues like food security, disease prevention, access to clean water, infrastructure development, and international security are all addressed by its applications. Using examples from international research and Nigerian contexts, this review offered a thorough evaluation of chemistry's function in daily life. Examined are the major contributions of chemistry to biological processes, construction, healthcare, agriculture, environmental protection, and security are examined. The results showed that chemistry influences biological processes, societal ‎development, and technological advancement, and is essential from birth to death. This review‎emphasized how important chemistry is to maintaining human life and advancing global development‎.
