Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

Learn about how the reactivity series ranks metals by how readily they react. More reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds and react with water. Redox, rusting and iron ...

Calcium carbonate is a chemical found in eggshells, seashells, and many other materials. Observe how calcium carbonate reacts with common liquids. A Plaster Master or a Plaster Disaster Plaster is ...

Revise how scientists first viewed the atom, the electronic configuration of an atom and the chemical reactions based on different configurations. Revise covalent and ionic compounds and structures, ...

If you follow the directions in a cake recipe, you expect to end up with a nice fluffy cake. In Idaho Falls, though, the elevation can affect these results. When baked goods don’t turn out as expected ...

Scientists have developed a simple, low-cost method to drive key chemical reactions, which could make large-scale drug manufacturing faster, more accessible and affordable.
