Most Interesting Facts About Plasma

There are three basic states of matter that are often described in the sciences of chemistry and physics – solid, liquid and gaseous state. However, not long ago, another special state of matter that is often referred to as the fourth state of matter has started to be mentioned more and more often, thereby expanding the already mentioned list.

Plasma, in the most basic definition, is considered to be ionized gas. › Continue reading

Materials Science – Self Darkening Materials

Self darkening glass has been and still is one of the more interesting inventions that came from the domain of chemistry as a science, along with materials science. Although today there are also lenses made of plastic, here we will mention the early versions of lenses used in optics, that were bassed on glass as the primary material.

This type of self darkening glass basically works by reacting to ultraviolet rays that come from the sun. › Continue reading

Chemistry – flame coloring experiment

Chemistry is one of the most interesting sciences out there. Although some people probably wouldn’t agree because chemistry isn’t as easy as most would wan’t it to be, but I think most people will agree that 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
