New Zealand Institute Of Chemistry
The New Zealand Institute of Chemistry (NZIC) was founded in 1931 and is the professional membership organisation for professionals working in the field of chemistry across the education and industry sectors in New Zealand. It is organised into six geographical branches (Auckland, Waikato, Manawatu, Wellington, Canterbury, and Otago) and a number of specialist groups. In 2019 it formed the group Secondary Chemistry Educators of NZ (SCENZ) as the national chemistry teachers’ subject association. The NZIC publishes its own quarterly journal ''Chemistry in New Zealand''. It has been a co-owner society of Chemistry: An Asian Journal since 2008, and is a co-owner of Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics published by the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK). The NZIC holds a national conference every two years with the branches taking turns to host. It is also a co-sponsor of the Pacifichem Congress which is held in Hawaii every five years.

Chemistry
Chemistry is the science, scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. It is a natural science that covers the Chemical element, elements that make up matter to the chemical compound, compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a Chemical reaction, reaction with other Chemical substance, substances. Chemistry also addresses the nature of chemical bonds in chemical compounds. In the scope of its subject, chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology. It is sometimes called the central science because it provides a foundation for understanding both Basic research, basic and Applied science, applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level. For example, chemistry explains aspects of plant growth (botany), the formation of igneous rocks (geology), how atmospheric ozone is formed and how environmental pollutants are degraded (ecology), the properties ...
