Chemical Laws in the Making

Hello friends, have you ever observed your mother cooking in the kitchen? Have you noticed how she mixes the right quantities of vegetables and sets the stove at the right temperature? Chemical compounds also, just like this, are formed when the right quantities of elements are mixed in the right proportions at the perfect temperature and pressure. How do we know what’s right? The laws of chemical combination tell us this. The laws of chemical combination control chemical reactions and how elements react with each other. There are two laws of chemical combination, namely, the laws of conservation of mass and the law of constant proportions. How do these laws come into being? John Dalton, a genius physicist, derived the Dalton’s Atomic Theory in support of these laws. Want to know more? Read on... and help our not-so-brilliant scientist, Floppy Eino, learn a few laws himself!

IN THE PHYSICS LAB... Hello kids! I am going to try out a magic of my own today! I'm going to try a vanishing act!

Guys! I was watching the magician David Blaine on TV last night. He performed some super stunts on the audience, it was awesome!

CHEMICAL LAWS IN THE MAKING


Here are 5 atoms each of zinc and sulphur on one side of the weighing balance.

Why do people always want to conduct experiments on us? Ohhh cheer up buddy! We are popular!

Here are the next 5 atoms each of zinc and sulphur.

Oohhh I'm scared!

Hahaha! It is true adventure.

Folks I will now combine the zinc and On heating, I will conquer you! sulphur on this side by heating, and you We, the sulphurs, are brave! We will see that some of it has disappeared will conquer you scared people, the zincs. into thin air! Maybe I will win a Nobel prize for this! Ha ha!
