Chemistry Word Search
This puzzle covers the words a chemistry class lives on: element, compound and mixture, solution and solvent, acid and base, the beaker, the flask and the Bunsen burner, and the chemists who named the ideas, from Lavoisier to Curie.
Chemistry grew out of alchemy, and the name came with it, through the Arabic al-kimiya. Robert Boyle argued in 1661 that matter should be studied by experiment rather than by ancient authority. Antoine Lavoisier weighed everything that went into and came out of his reactions and showed that mass is never lost; he named oxygen and hydrogen, and in 1794 the French Revolution sent him to the guillotine for his work as a tax collector.
Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and in Chemistry in 1911, for discovering polonium and radium, the first person to win two. Litmus, the dye in the classic test paper, comes from lichens: it turns red in an acid and blue in a base. The pH scale was invented in 1909 by Soren Sorensen, a Danish chemist working in the Carlsberg brewery's laboratory in Copenhagen.
