AB Chemistry  is  the  science  of  matter;  it  encompasses  the  structure,  physicalproperties,  and  reactivities  of  atoms  and  their  compounds.  In  many  respects,  toxicology  is  the  science  of  the  interactions  of  matter  with  living  entities.  Chemistry  and  toxicology  are  therefore  intimately  linked.  The  study  of  the  principles  of  inorganic,  organic,  and  biologic  chemistry  offers  important  insight  into  the  mechanisms  and  clinical  manifestations  of  xenobiotics  and  poisoning.  This  chapter  reviews  many  of  these  tenets  and  provides  relevance  to  the  current  practice  of  medical  toxicology.
