Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud Electrons are standing waves when part of an atom, molecule or metal. Understand in 8 minutes or less.

Scientists often talk about the electron as a particle. I wrote this for the novice to emphasize that we know it is much more than that. #chemsky #chemistry #iteachchemistry

I blame Citizens United. Too much $ in politics. Elections bought and sold to highest bidder. Wrong people going into politics for wrong reasons.

This illustrates perfectly that no one know what they are doing! Trump is going to set the world on fire. No one is safe.

Finally some republicans stepping up. A few less fingers plugging up the Epstein dike.
How much of this admins aggression against other countries is an effort to distract I wonder. And how well is it succeeding?

The current US admin is very hungry for minerals. I would worry about that. Especially given joint military exercises. What is truly going on?

Deep distrust driven by current admin. Blame it on the doctors!

Oh Metal, my Metal, how will I know thee? By these three virtues: Thy conductivity, thy luster and thy resilience

Another short post about metals. Written for the nonscientist. Metals are conductive, shiny and resilient. The common denominator is metallic bonding. Atomic level detail about each attribute to follow. #chemsky #chemistry #iteachchemistry

β€˜Zeus has given us the fate of winding down our lives in painful wars, from youth, until we perish, all of us.’ These lines appear in the Iliad, a poem which is nearly 2,800 years old. Can we find a way to break this cycle? Or is this madness encoded in our genes? #booksky

There’s always something in it for him. And if states allow him to cancel elections we are doomed.

Paula Rossi (@periodicmusings) I bet you recognize the fellow in this picture – Yes! It is the Mad Hatter from Lewis Carroll’s β€˜The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland’ published in 1865. In this character, Carroll was holding up a ...

Find out what workplace hazard lurks behind the Mad Hatter's madness. But how well does Lewis Carroll's character fit the stereotype? #chemsky #chemistry #booksky
