Today is a great day. Today is an excellent day. TODAY IS...MOLE DAY! AKA 6.02 x 10^23 (the number of atoms in a 12 gram sample of Carbon - 12). We should have had a party in chemistry to celebrate this great achievement by Amedeo Avagadro.
But that's not what I'm supposed to discuss. Instead, I shall talk about the flame test. I could be considered a pyromaniac because I like fire. My favorite was the burning of strontium. I loved the rosy, red color of the element. Copper also burned a gorgeous sea green color that reminded me of mermaids. I find it very interesting how different elements emit certain photons and colors of light.
On a lighter note, today was the homecoming rally. It was enjoyable! :D
