Periodic table
This element was not only the first element in the universe, but also the most common. It is also incredibly small.
What is Hydrogen?
This famous scientist was the first to relate mass and energy with his equation E=mc2, and is also famous for a fantastic hairstyle.
Who was Einstein?
This tiny part of an atom is found wizzing around the nucleous and has a negative charge.
What is an electron?
This observation from the color changing bottles probably means that a reaction is taking place.
What is a change in color?
This number, between 1 and 100,000 is roughly the number of liters of water would you need to drink per day in Burlington to die of chloroform poisoning.
What is 44,000? (+/- 100,000)
This element is one of the most common in the earth, and is required for animals to live. It makes molecules with two atoms of itself, with a double bond in the middle.
What is oxygen?
This scientist made millions by inventing dynamite. He later used his fortune to make an award, which is now given to the best of the best for things like chemistry, literature, and peace.
Who was (Alfred) Nobel?
This part of an atom is found in the center of an atom but does not have a charge.
What is a neutron?
This law of nature is often is often called the "law of convervation of mass".
What is matter cannot be created nor destroyed?
This number, below 100, is how many years 1,000,000,000 seconds is (1 billion)
What is 31? (+/- 15)
This group of elements are happy that they already meet the octet rule, and do not react easilty as a result.
What are noble gasses?
This heavy metal was used frequently a long time ago for everything from plates to plumbing, but is now known to be very toxic. It can still be found in the paint of old buildings. It has even been credited with making Beethoven go deaf!
What is lead?
What is 2?
An example of this reaction is wood burning, and engine running, or even cells breathing. It generates CO2 as a product and heat.
What is combustion?
This number, in years less that 50, is roughly how long it takes the world's most viscous (thick) liquid to drip.
This number represents the heaviest and therfore last element on the periodic table, Oganesson, as well as the total number of elements on the table.
What is 118?
Alchemy was the practice by scientists to get rich by turning lead, a common metatl into this much more valuable one.
What is gold?
This "layer" is where electrons are found, and can hold up to 8 in most cases.
What is an orbital?
This simple change involves one substance changing it's molecular structure and turning into another. These are often not reversible.
What is a chemical change/reaction?
This number, less than 20,000, is the temperature of the surface of the sun in fahrenheit.
What is 10,000? (+/- 2000)
This element is the lightest metal, having three electrons and three protons. Because of it's small size, it is great for batteries but will react violently if used incorrectly.
What is lithium?
The "Radium Girls" was a catastrophic health problem caused by a watch making factory. Radium gets its name from the fact that it decays over a time, a property common with other elements like uranium or plutonium.
What is radioactivity?
This is about the number of atoms that you can find in 12g of diamond.
What is 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000? (6 followed by 23 zeros)?
This word describes the speed at which a reaction happens over time.
What is rate?
This number is how many oxygen molecules are used for every ethanol molecule burned in the whoosh bottle experiment.
What is 3? (+/- 1)
