Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose it because I am interested in analytical chemistry. It matters as it is a huge branch in chemistry and I find it very interesting. My first impression of it was a little bit intimidating however it made sense and was easy to read.

The lead section is very well put and the first sentence of the article clearly states what to expect in the rest of the article. The content is well defined and doesn't focus on one aspect of analytical chemistry, but has an emphasis on all aspects. The tone is very neutral and does not convey any bias or opinions on the matter, but instead uses a balance of viewpoints. All of the sources that are provided are current and all work as well. Every fact is backed up with a citation which is also very helpful. The writing is clear and professional and the article is laid out in a way that it makes it easy to read as a reader. All of the images that are in the article are well captioned and there is n image for all of the topics that are discusses (for the most part). The Talk Page is very interesting as it discusses that some topics that are very relevant in the field of analytical chemistry are not mentioned, however since these conversations took place, the article has changed and took in these suggestions to make the article better. Overall, the article is very clear and concise with lots of citations to back up the points made. I personally think more pictures should be used as it would be more captivating, as well as other topics within analytical chemistry such as having a section talking about bioanalytical chemistry instead of just having a link towards another article for it. I believe that though there are still some areas of improvement, this article is well developed and goes over important topics within the field of analytical chemistry.
