What does everyone think the big questions will be on?

one bohr related one i think...maybe a huge 7-8 marker on colour related to transition metals, with references to the chromium prac...hopefully nothing on pigments
that's some boring ass s**t!!

 

[mon_mon]

still, at least pigments is easy and simple to bullshit. i would be screw at this point with some of the other parts.

 

[toknblackguy]

true
don't forget to address the health risks..i was thinking
another possible 5-6 marker could involve how pigments have changed through the ages, with the discovery of new pigments, and how in ancient cultures, lead pigments had adverse health effects...maybe discuss all of that

 

[Gruma]

ah i have a feeling it could be the prac on observing the known transition element as it changes oxidation state

 

[mon_mon]

Don't forget that Napoleobn died from Arsenic poisoning from the green paint in his paint. score you brownie points

 

[toknblackguy]

hahaha
i never knew that!
but i don't see me remembering anytime soon

 

[mon_mon]

lol. its still a cool little thing about how pigments used to be dangerous.

 

[toknblackguy]

for that syullabus point i'm talking about the ancient ehyptians using PbS as a mascara and how lead is bioaccumaltive and causes neural network problems and death

 

[mon_mon]

nice. talk about vermillion PbS and they got it all over their hands and down their throats whist making it.
