Introduction
Chemistry was born from instability; everything around us is the result of that instability. From the chemical reactions in our body to things around us like table, chair, fans everything includes chemistry in the form of atoms. Chemistry indeed is beautiful, it is beautiful not because of its fancy equations or its colours but because of its nature.
This entire universe is the amalgamation of matters like hydrogen, helium and dark matter. Sun- the biggest star of the universe is a huge ball of helium (fusion reaction) which constantly releases a lot of energy.
