These discaveries have real- life value in healthcare, manufacturing, transport, defense and a wide range.of other industries. ‘There area lot of materials and elements found in otir environment some of them are natural and some others are laboratory prepared. There are a lot of similarities and differences between ceach of them on the basis of several factors. But itis hard for anyone-to study the structure, behavior and properties of each one of them individually and also to remember them for chemical use. So, for the convenience and to make the study of different materials easier.and convenient we group the materials on the basis of different properties. The grouping or the élassification of materials makes the study easier and also saves our time and energy. Development of new materials has followed a number of different pathways, depending on both the nature of the problem being pursued and the means of investigation, Breakthroughs in the discovery of new materials have ranged from pure serendipity, to trial-and-error approaches, to design by analogy to existing systems. These methodologies will remain important inthe development of materials but as the challenges and requirements for new materials become more complex, the need 0 design and develop new materials from the molecular scale through the macroscopic final product will become inereasingly important. The use of molecular modeling and ilo useable forms or devi the engineering of new materials i .es are of patticular importance. 1 Page Md.
