Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/5/Physical sciences/Chemistry
Vital articles are lists of subjects for which Wikipedia should have corresponding high-quality articles. It serves as a centralized watchlist to track the status of Wikipedia's most essential articles. This is one of the sub-lists of the fifty thousand article Vital articles/Level 5 and is currently under construction.
Articles in the Vital list have their assessments labelled as:
- Featured articles
- Former featured articles
- A-class articles
- Good articles
- Delisted good articles
- Failed good article nominees
- B-class articles
- C-class articles
- Start-class articles
- Stub-class articles
- List-class articles
- Unassessed articles
The progress bar is auto-updated via category count, and the symbols and article counts are updated daily by User:cewbot. Please read the FAQ before modifying the article list.
For biochemistry, see the Biology section; also see Technology for specific applications of chemistry.
Quota 1,200 articles.
