What is the difference between a
chemist and chemical engineer?
Chemist
A chemist studies chemicals, matter and its
properties, and atoms in order to understandhow elements join together to form different
substances.
Chemical Engineer
Works in collaboration with chemists to
develop chemicals for useful purposes.
