If you love chemistry how do you show it? This video tells you
all about the elements...in song!
Quick quiz!
Were you listening?
- What element does oxygen make rust away?
- What gas lights up the sign for a pizza place?
- What are stars mostly made up of?
Answers below the picture.
Elements shown on the Periodic
Table - you can sing about them!
Answers:
- Iron reacts with oxygen to form iron
oxide. This is the red substance that we call
rust. Have a look around your garden or on your
street. Can you find five things that have rusted?
- Neon is used in lots of shop signs, where it
glows red-orange. Neon is very unreactive - it's very hard to get
it to change into anything else!
- Stars are mostly made up of hydrogen.
Reactions between hydrogen atoms release lots of
energy. This is what causes stars to shine - including our
Sun.
Did you get them all right? Can you make your own song about the
elements?
