CHEMISTRY DISCOVERIES
This element, discovered by Joseph Priestley in 1774, is essential for breathing and combustion.
What is Oxygen?
This branch of chemistry studies carbon-based compounds, such as plastics and fuels.
What is Organic Chemistry?
Fire is a chemical reaction that requires three things: fuel, oxygen, and this.
What is Heat?
This metal produces red fireworks.
What is Strontium (Sr) or Lithium (Li)?
Dmitri Mendeleev organized this table in 1869, predicting missing elements.
What is the Periodic Table?
This branch focuses on metals, minerals, and salts.
What is Inorganic Chemistry?
This gas is a byproduct of complete combustion.
What is Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)?
Fireworks glow blue when this element is burned.
What is Copper (Cu)?
Henri Becquerel and Marie Curie discovered this phenomenon in 1896, which led to advances in X-rays and cancer treatment.
What is Radioactivity?
Hydrocarbons, alcohols, and proteins belong to this type of chemistry.
What is Organic Chemistry?
The formula for fire (combustion) includes fuel + oxygen producing CO₂, water, and these two energy forms.
What are Heat & Light?
This element is responsible for the green color in fireworks.
What is Barium (Ba)?
The structure of this molecule was uncovered by Watson & Crick in 1953, revolutionizing genetics.
What is DNA?
Acids, bases, and oxides are classified under this chemistry field.
What is Inorganic Chemistry?
This toxic gas is produced in incomplete combustion due to a lack of oxygen.
What is Carbon Monoxide (CO)?
Magnesium and aluminum create this bright color in fireworks.
What is White/Silver?
In 1981, Binnig & Rohrer invented this technology that allows scientists to manipulate atoms.
What is Nanotechnology?
This type of organic compound contains the -OH functional group.
What is an Alcohol?
Fire was one of the first chemical reactions humans controlled, allowing advances in cooking, metallurgy, and this ancient preservation method.
What is Fermentation?
The process in which atoms release energy after being heated, creating colorful fireworks, is called this.
What is Electron Excitation and Emission?
