Etymology

The word chemistry comes from alchemy, which referred to an earlier set of practices that encompassed elements of chemistry, metallurgyphilosophyastrologyastronomymysticism and medicine. It is often seen as linked to the quest to turn lead or another common starting material into gold, though in ancient times, the study encompassed many of the questions of modern chemistry being defined as the study of the composition of waters, movement, growth, embodying, disembodying, drawing the spirits from bodies and bonding the spirits within bodies by the early 4th century Greek-Egyptian alchemist Zosimos. An alchemist was called a 'chemist' in popular speech, and later the suffix "-ry" was added to this to describe the art of the chemist as "chemistry".

The modern word alchemy in turn is derived from the Arabic word al-kÄ«mīā (الكیمیاء). In origin, the term is borrowed from the Greek χημία or χημεία.[7][8] This may have Egyptian origins since al-kÄ«mīā is derived from the Greek χημία, which is in turn derived from the word Kemet, which is the ancient name of Egypt in the Egyptian language.[7] Alternately, al-kÄ«mīā may derive from χημεία, meaning "cast together".

Chemical Informatics is Insight medical publisher journal and also one of the most emerging fields in the present scenario. It is a multidisciplinary field which covers the research containing molecular design tools for finding the best fitting compounds which address to particular targets.

Chemical Informatics is a vast field that aims to disseminate information regarding the design, structures, creation, dissemination, visualization and the use of chemical information. Chemical Informatics Journal aims to supply scientists of resources in order to provide the scientific knowledge through the publication of peer-reviewed, high quality, scientific papers and other material on all topics related to Chemical information, Software and databases.
