- Creating Malachite egg
One of the most interesting and obvious chemical experiments is the experiment on the interaction of copper sulfate and calcium carbonate. The latter is contained in the shell of a simple egg, but copper sulphate should be searched in a chemical reagent store. This experience is simple, but...

Le Chatelier's Principle
States that a system at equilibrium, or striving to attain equilibrium, responds in such a way as to counteract any stress placed upon it.
If a stress (change of conditions) is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in the direction that reduces stress.
Atomic Orbital
Region or volume in space in which the probability of finding electrons is highest.
Tetrahedral
A term used to describe molecules and polyatomic ions that have one atom in center and four atoms at the corners of a tetrahedron.
