Some questions about chemistry!

Hello there, and welcome!

In my last post I wrote that i dont know a lot about chemistry... But now I’m going to answer some questions I got from my english teacher about it. And, let’s see how much I could figure out with some help, shall we?

1. What is chemistry?

I would say that... Chemistry can be how atoms combined builds up everything we know, including ourselves. It can also be making color with help from plants, or dye yarn with mushrooms. I also see chemistry as medical science, new types of medicine and ways to perform surgery doesn’t just come by it self.

2. Why do we need a subject like chemistry?

I think that everyone need some basic knowledge about some things, and chemistry is one of them. I think if you have chemistry as a subject in school then maybe more people wants to be scientists. More scientists is good, right? That means more brains that work together to find answers to some hard questions!

3. Why is it valuable to know certain things about chemistry?

I’m not really sure if you mean as an individual, but I’m going to answer to the question like you mean that. Eh... Because it can be dangerous to not know anything about chemistry. I mean, it is dangerous to not know anything about it. What if you... You... You... Set something on fire?

4. What is a chemical element?

A chemical element is a substance that only contains atoms with the same number of nucleons and protons in it. It’s a basic element that build up everything. What we know, there is 118 elements. You can find all of the discovered elements on the Periodic Table.


Toodles! :D

My christmas break and a little bit about chemistry...

  Hello there, I’m the batteryduck. You may recognise me from such sites as... Tumblr, nerdfighters.ning (We are nerds who fight against world suck!) and mugglarportalen. Of course, my name isn’t batteryduck there or in real life... My name is My, yes. My. It’s swedish.

  This blog is something my englishteacher came up with (And you are probably the only one that will read this...So... Hello and welcome?)... I guess this will only be used for school intention.

  During christmas I didn’t do so much, just the things I usually do. Eating, sleeping, nerding tumblr for hours. 

  I don’t really know if you’re interested in hearing what I got for christmas... I’m going to tell you some things anyway. About three weeks before christmas my family got a puppy. She is a Chow Chow and her name is Ella, at the moment she is 14 weeks old... So I basically played with her during my christmas break as well (And she tried to gobble me up).

  I got a book for from my brother so I read it in about a week... Then I bought the next part in the bookserie by myself and started reading that. 

  Oh! And i drank a lot of  tea (Lemon tea with a mountain of sugar in it... I know... I use too much sugar, but it's so good!). When I drink tea I feel so british... And for some reason it feels like I need to grow a moustache... And maby a beard. If I were a boy I would probably look like Gandalf.

  My christmas break was quite awesome.

  I guess that’s all for now... BYE.

  Oh, wait... I needed to talk about chemistry as well....

I don’t know a lot about chemistry... I guess I know more about chemistry than I think I do (I just don’t think of it as chemistry maby?), but... Yeah. If I studied a bit about chemistry I would probably think it was really awesome. So I hope I’ll learn something.

  Toodles! :D
