Which article are you evaluating?
The central science

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate as I am a chemistry major, and the introduction of this topic is crucial for my field. This article did address why chemistry is viewed as the central science, yet the article lacked depth into the topic as well as a further explanation of its affects on the other field that make it viewed as the central science.

Evaluate the article
This article has a great lead section. The topic is quickly introduced and explained in the first sentence. The remaining of the first paragraph continues to explain what the central science is and where that phrase originated, which is key information for the topic. The content of the article was all related to the topic, yet the range of information was not spread out well. There was a large focus on explaining chemistry in terms of biology, which resulted in the neglect of the physical aspect of chemistry as a central science. Tone and balance were adequate for the topic at hand as the topic is very neutral, and based on the definition by specific sources. The article has a great flow chart depicted, yet the chart is poorly explained in depth. The article gives a brief explanation but the flow chart depicted gives a much better understanding, and it would be better if the article furthered that understanding by explaining it in more depth. Other than the lacking of the explanation of the flow chart and the lack of depth, the article did explain the topic in a concise and easy to read manner.
