Our mind, the most complicated organ that we have, till today with advanced technology we still don't understand how the mind works and functions. Various emotions that we feel are the result of million chemical interactions in our mind that involve billions of neurons. Emotions such as love, hate, want, feeling, touch all is a result of chemical interaction. Our brain is subdivided into various sections, each with its own neurons and chemical interaction that control our thought, our memory short or long, ability to retrieve knowledge even control disease and how we fight it. Our brain consumes more than 30% of the body's energy and it is one of the largest organs that we have. Our mind is the single element that makes us human, and it is all chemistry.
The universe which we hardly know and will never know, is all about chemical interactions that happened billions of years ago and are still happening. The sun, the planet, the stars, meteorites, and black holes are part of huge chemical interactions. Our knowledge is so limited that our grasp of understanding even in small creatures such as a mosquito is unknown.
Our brain is where we store information, this is done by chemical interaction. Today it is even more relevant, we are continuously bombarded with information from news, social media feeds and family. Chemical interaction is non-stop, our mind doesn't rest, our mind is continuously thinking non-stop grabbing this and that trying to see the forest from the tree. The more we multitask the more brain and chemical interaction occur, the more we become deliberative, the less able we tend to think about a particular problem. Given the number of neutrons in our brain the amount of information that we can store is limitless. On the other hand, we don't use the storage effectively and store it with useful information not Facebook and Instagram feeds or useless news.
Our brain is like a plastic, the more we feed it, the more we nurture it the more it will expand, the more it will give us. To navigate this world, with all the obstacle’s and unknown future, our children need to focus, and this require chemistry and chemical interaction in our brain, if our children spend most of the time playing internet games and on social media they lose their ability to focus, they will lose their mind, which will lead to depression. Focus and controlling are all brain chemical interactions. They involve so many things such as playing attention, being present, remembering the rules, and being yourself. Children who are willing to take challenges, go out, interact socially, have a mindset growth and that is what we need for our future generation.
At Ziyyara we make sure we teach our children to love and not to hate any subject, even chemistry. We show them the path and it is up to them to pick the road.
1. Are you made of uranium and iodine? Because all I can see is U and I together.
2. You’re made of oxygen and neon, right? Because you’re definitely the ONe.
3. Are you made of copper? Because I can Cu in a relationship with me.
4. You must be a compound of barium and beryllium because you’re a total BaBe.
5. Are you made of fluorine, iodine and neon? Because you’re F-I-Ne.
6. You must be made of beryllium, gold and titanium because you’re BeAuTi-ful.
7. I wish I was adenine so I could get paired with U.
8. Scientists recently discovered a rare new element called beautium, and it looks like you’re made of it.
9. If you were an element you’d be francium because you’re the most attractive.
10. My favorite element is uranium because I love U.
11. Are you made of carbon? Because it feels like my world revolves around you.
12. My heart is made of gallium. It melts when you’re close to me.
13. Forget hydrogen, you’re my number one element.
14. Do you have 11 protons? Cause you’re sodium fine.
Have you ever wondered about the trillions of atoms that make up the world around us? Chemistry, often called the “Central Science“, provides the key to understanding this world of atoms & molecules. Chemistry isn’t just about memorizing the periodic table or balancing chemical equations; it’s a dynamic exploration of the very essence of matter and energy. From the tiniest particles to the grandest chemical reactions, chemistry shapes our daily lives in ways you might never have imagined. Whether you’re a student embarking on a chemical adventure or someone simply curious about the world’s chemical wonders, this blog is your guide to discovering the beauty, relevance, and excitement that chemistry has to offer. In this blog, we will take you through the top reasons to love Chemistry!
1. Everything is Chemical
Everything!
Each and everything around you is a chemical. Their motion is governed by physics and their comprehensive study of properties and reactions is called Chemistry.
It won’t be an exaggeration to say that Chemistry is the study of “Everything”!
2. Understanding the nature of materials around you
Why do leaves change colour in the fall? Why are plants green? How is cheese made? What is in soap and how does it clean? These are all questions that can be answered by applying chemistry.
The study of materials is intriguing. Knowing which material to select for which application is very important no matter what branch – Mechanics, Electronics or anything!
3. Getting to know the fundamental building blocks of Matter
Ever played LEGO? Atoms and Molecules are similar to the building blocks of LEGO.
It is fun playing around with these blocks and combining them in n different ways.
4. You get to know how things combine
Those Chemical Reactions aren’t mere reactions, but the science of how things combine at the molecular level. Learning Chemistry will allow you to understand how things combine in nature. You will also learn how things have different properties before and after combining and how we can use them to develop new technology.
5. Chemistry creates life!
Yes! What is Life? It is just an interaction of chemicals.
Whatever you think, whatever you do is just a series of chemical reactions inside your body.
6. Properties of Substances in Nature
With Chemistry, you get to learn how things behave in nature. The properties of these substances are very useful in developing newer applications and devices.
7. You can improve your memory!
Remembering Chemical reactions, require a great deal of memory power. Once you start learning Chemistry, your memory power would skyrocket!
8. You can recreate the Natural World
Tell us the compound you want to create and we will recreate it for you artificially.
No need to go to the seas and oceans in search of Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Come to our lab and we will recreate the naturally occurring table salt conveniently (and of course artificially).
9. Chemistry Laboratory
Chemistry labs are an interesting place to work, whether you are a student or a teacher. Different fumes and precipitates of different colours and bad smelling compounds (read Ammonia) brings an interesting side of the chemical world to us.
There are lots of interesting chemistry projects you can do using common everyday materials. Chemistry projects don’t just go BOOM! They can glow in the dark, change colours, produces bubbles and change states.
Watching Chemicals in action is truly a treat!
