General chemistry is a science that is deeply incorporated in our everyday lives, but most of the people probably aren’t even aware of it being so. After reading this article, you will think a bit more about this interesting science the next time you wash your hands, clean the barbecue after a party, or pour the detergent in the washing machine. Everything mentioned can serve as an great example for chemistry reactions that we witness often. ..Continue reading..
Noble gases are truly a very interesting group of elements, that all have relatively similar properties. The chemistry of these compounds is very similar. Under standard conditions (under temperature of 0°C, and pressure of 100 kPa) they are all colorless and odorless monoatomic gases with a very low chemical activity. ..Continue reading..
Water is one of the most important substances known to the science of chemistry. It is a ubiquitous chemical substance that is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, and is a substance essential for all life forms known at the moment. Water covers more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, mostly in form of oceans and seas. ..Continue reading..
There are many interesting groups of elements in chemistry. One of them is the group of metals that we know as the group of precious metals, although they don’t all come from the same group in the periodic table of elements. The metals that are usually considered to be precious nowadays are gold, silver, platinum, paladium and sometimes some other elements as well. ..Continue reading..
Chemistry is one of the most interesting sciences out there. Although some people probably wouldn’t agree with chemistry being that interesting because chemistry isn’t as simple as most would like it to be, but I think most people will agree that scientific experiments related to chemistry are among the most interesting ones. One of these experiments is the flame test, which is often used as an interesting presentation or introduction to general chemistry, but it also has a practical value in analytical chemistry because it is used to find and identify various metals or ions. ..Continue reading..
Ketogenic diet is based on a process that we know as ketosis. It is a specific state of the body, that is characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood, which occurs because of the conversion of fats into fatty acids and ketones. This happens when the body gets only relatively small amounts of carbohydrates over a period of time. ..Continue reading..
The science of chemistry is a important part of many engineering branches. Pyrotechnics is one of these branches, and in this article, we will describe and mention some of the basic and interesting facts concerning the science energetic materials. An explosive material is a material that is more or less chemically stable, and can, by initiation, cause a sudden expansion of matter, that is often accompanied with the production of pressure and heat. ..Continue reading..

Alkali metals are truly a very interesting group of elements, that all have relatively similar properties. The chemistry of these compounds is very similar. Under standard conditions (under temperature of 0°C, and pressure of 100 kPa) they all come in the form of metals with a characteristic silvery-gray coloration and with a very high chemical activity. ..Continue reading..
