Chapter 1: Molecules in Motion Students will experience all five elements of inquiry as they ask questions about M&M’s in water, design and conduct experiments to answer these questions, and develop explanations based on their observations.

Hydrogen»uses [WebElements Periodic Table] The following uses for hydrogen are gathered from a number of sources as well as from anecdotal comments.

I'd be delighted to receive corrections as well as additional referenced uses (please use the feedback mechanism to add uses). One of hydrogen's isotopes, tritium (3H) is radioactive. Chemistry. NOTE: For those of you who are having difficulty with the links in the above menu, click here!

All teacher documents were originally created in Microsoft Word and some were saved as Web Pages. Those may be easily copied and pasted back into Word for making any changes desired. However, some of the files don't translate back into Word that well. Discovery Education's Puzzlemaker: Create your own cross word puzzles! Cucumber Chemistry: Moisture Capture with Desiccants. Observations and results Did you observe the cucumber slices shrinking?

The fresh cucumber should have remained very crisp and moist over the 30 minutes you observed it. This is because 96 percent of a cucumber is actually water. For the slices with salt, sugar or baking powder on top, you should have noticed that over time the substances became wet and soaked up the water from the cucumber.

Nitrogen Triiodide Chemistry Demonstration. By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. In this spectacular chemistry demonstration, crystals of iodine are reacted with concentrated ammonia to precipitate nitrogen triiodide.

The NI3 is filtered out. When dry, the compound is so unstable that the slightest contact causes it to decompose into nitrogen and iodine gas, producing a very loud 'snap' and a cloud of purple iodine vapor. Color Chemistry Demonstrations. Rainbow in a Glass Density Demonstration. Make an Acid-Base Rainbow Wand. By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Atoms: Neutrons. Neutrons are the particles in an atom that have a neutral charge. They aren't positive like protons. They aren't negative like electrons. But don't start thinking that they aren't important. Every piece of an atom has huge importance to the way the atom acts and behaves. Neutrons are no exception.

So, if an atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons, the charges cancel each other out and the atom has a neutral charge. Anecdotes for Chemistry Teachers - Handouts- Learn Chemistry.
