Science WordS
Organic Compound - are compounds that are primarily composed of carbon atoms which are
chemically bonded with hydrogen and other elements.

Hydrocarbons - are a specific group of organic compounds which contain carbon and hydrogen
only.

Ethene - a gaseous organic compound. It is a plant's compound that is responsible for the ripening of
fruits.

Carbonyl Compound - Can be used as a cleaning agent and preserving organic materials

Trivia
➢ A colloid can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous, but the size of
the solid particles that are distributed through the other component will indicate its
status as a colloid.

➢ The Tyndall effect describes the reasoning behind some colloids appearing
translucent.

➢ Azeotropes are mixtures that cannot readily be separated after forming the mixture.

➢ Colloids were studied extensively by Scottish scientist Thomas

Graham, which led to the fields of study related to interface and colloid science.

Science Viewing Time!!! LAVA LAMP (BAKING SODA)

Materials Needed
Plastic Bottle or Glass Jar Oil
Baking Soda Vinegar
Food coloring 9 oz. plastic cup
Eye Dropper

Science Behind It:
> Oil and vinegar do not mix. Oil
floats on the surface because
vinegar is heavier than oil.
Vinegar is denser than the oil.
the drops of vinegar, it reacts
with the baking soda to make
carbon dioxide gas. These
bubbles attach themselves to
the colored vinegar and cause
them to float to the surface.
When the bubbles pop, the color
sinks back to the bottom of the
bottle.
Procedure
> Sprinkle 3-4 table spoons of baking soda into the bottle.
> Let it settle into a flat layer at the bottom of the bottle.
> Fill the bottle 3/4 full of oil.
> Pour carefully and try not to disturb the layer of baking
soda at the bottom.
> Pour 1 cup of vinegar into the 9 oz. plastic cup. Add 3-4
drops of food color.
> Using eye dropper, add 5-6 drops of vinegar into the
bottle. Watch what happens.
> Add 5-6 more drops of vinegar into the bottle. Watch
what happens.
> Continue to add more drops of vinegar into the bottle
until the bubbles stop floating to the surface.
