Pb
Before the atom, ancient philosophers believed the universe to be made of only these few elements.
Fire, Air, Water, Earth.
An element that is slightly radioactive and is found within Pepto Bismol.
Bismuth.
The lead scientist in charge of the Manhattan Project.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
This chemical process occurs when a species gains oxygen, or loses electrons
Oxidation
This specific compound was invented as an additive for gasoline to prevent engine knocking. It ultimately ended up costing the world dearly in terms of birth defects, hyper tension, a collective 100million point loss in IQ in Americans from its invention, and strong evidence of an increase in violence and crime.
Chemistry is the study of this
