Fun fact : a lightbulb has been on since 1901 in a region of siberia. Ivan Popov discovered that electricity could be extracted from the ground in the region as the soil is mineral rich, and the water table is high. This discovery has allowed the earth to accomplish this remarkable feat
Fun fact : the covalent character of ionic bonds was discovered as a result of a similar mathematical error. George Smith made a mathematical error while calculating the lattice energy of a compound, and ended up with the result he expected despite the error. When his assistant discovered the error, he devised the theory used today
Fun fact : Hydrated salts were the result of a paranoid geologist. Johnathan Everard began the practice of baking samples obtained in the field to kill microbes, believing that doing so would prevent him from contracting tetanus. A difference in mass before and after baking observed with one of the samples led him to this path paving discovery
Fun fact : In 2015 Dalia Scott, a student at the Miami institute of technology had to be admitted to hospital after inhaling chlorine fumes. After her roommate recommended a salt lamp as a solution to her stress, she melted it and used it to fuel the university's molten salt cell, leading to her injuries
Fun fact : Shortly after Galvani's discovery with frog legs, "electric baths" began to pop up around Italy, where people were subjected to electric shocks as a form of therapy, with the belief that doing so could improve the health of those parts of the body
fun fact : Newton Aldrich, the co-founder of Sigma Aldrich chemicals used to make money by producing chemicals such as phenol in his dorm bathroom while pursuing his masters at Purdue university
Fun Fact : Aluminium corrodes in the presence of air to form aluminium oxide, a white powder often used as an adulterant in milk
Fun fact : Feling's solution was originally used in thermometers, which is why blue and red are used to visually represent temperature
Fun fact: Nylon was originally extracted form the dermal layer of manatees
Fun fact: Using medical syringes is actually a horibble idea for an experiment as vaccine companies lobby syringe makers to alter the volumes marked on them so that vaccine makers can get away with smaller quantities in their vials, increasing margins.
Fun fact: Keaton Roberts, a prominent alchemist in the latter half of the 17th century claimed to have discovered a method, but the last remaining copies of his works were destroyed in the great fire of London, leaving his works lost forever
Fun Fact: Gravity is caused by the earth moving upward with acceleration g due to space time pressure differences caused by the thermal difference between the ice at the bottom of the earth and the top of earth
Fun fact: That high energy state of carbon is used to produce C-14 for carbon dating Expecially in countries which are under santions as there is a fear that they will use the raw materials required for other procceses to make weapons
Fun fact: Buckminister Fuller won both a Nobel prize in Chemistry and the Stirling prize in Architecture in 1973 as his work on fullerenes contributed to both fields to monumental extents
Fun fact: In 2018, scientists in New Zealand decided to restart alchemy as they believe that with recent advancements in computer simulation, they may actually find success in their endeavour
Fun fact : Enriched uranium is produced by bombarding normal uranium with protons. The resulting uranium is highly unstable and prone to alpha decay, also making it very acidic, the main reason why the lead containers they are stored in are filled with concentrated sodium hydroxide soultion
Fun fact : Hydrogen containing compounds have the prefix bi as it was the first gas that was discovered to have a dimolecular structure
Fun fact : Le Chatelier was guillotined as his theories about how equilibriums could shift from the left to the right scared the public, thinking he could introduce political instability to the new government
Fun Fact: if you blow on salt solution,the solubility will decrease and the nacl will precipitate out
Could you please rephrase this? And generally run a spell checker across the gist.
Neat list, was pretty interesting to read.
Ty :)
