what are good chemistry questions that will IMPRESS your chemistry teacher?

Answer 1

1. What new subatomic particles do you think the CERN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN) particle accelerator will find? Will we find the glueon, the graviton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton)? Can a quark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark) or a lepton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepton) be subdivided? [Okay, this is more of a physics question; but it relates to quantum mechanics which is the basis of all chemistry].

2. Why is the magic number of chemistry 8? Why do atoms with 8 electrons in there outer shell become noble and why do all other atoms try to steal and share their electrons in an attempt to reach 8? Does this mean chemistry should be done on base 8 counting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics)?

3. Why is carbon so versatile? It is the only element that can form rings (benzene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzin), geodesic domes (bucky balls), and huge hollow tubes (carbon nanofibers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube). Does this flexibility of carbon mean that the only forms of life we are going to find will be carbon based? Can we find more complex shapes and constructions of carbon? How can we use bucky balls, can you show us some? The shop will have an arc welder and that is all you need to create bucky balls; Buckminsterfullerene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene#Buckminsterfullerene).

4. Why is the carbon ring of benzene the basic molecule for so much of organic chemistry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry

WARNING: If you don’t read the articles I have cited then how can you know if the teacher is answering your question properly? If you don’t read those articles then how can you ask follow up questions and make sense of what they say. If I was a teacher and you sprung one of these massive questions on me I would ask you for a report on your views, opinions, and research on the topic. You could distract the class and lead them down an entirely different path. I know a chemistry class that covered organic chemistry, but forgot to cover Moles and balancing chemical equations. The teacher got side tracked and dragged the entire class and the entire semester with her.

Don’t be surprised if you get a stupid look; they are going to wonder where you got these questions from and it will take a few moments to form an intelligent answer. There are no real answers for these questions. They are all loaded ones that cover a higher part of chemistry which involves and requires an expanded understanding; hey you wanted to IMPRESS your chemistry teacher so I gave you impressive questions. If your teacher does come up with a simple answer then I would love to hear it.

If you REALLY want to impress your teacher then come to the class armed with a print out of the articles you want to discuss, also so you can point out their errors.

If you can't understand the answers to the questions then you need more chemisty and physics or to hang around Yahoo Answers more and spend points on asking people what they mean. If you try to ask these questions on Yahoo Answers then I am sure you are going to get few and weird answers, like I said the questions HAVE no answers.

Answer 3

If you are a good student, who knows the material well, any question that pertains to the subject matter, which you wish to learn more about, or need clarification on will impress a teacher. I suppose you could ask about the different professions chemists find themselves in (i.e. candy flavor making, petrochemical vs environmental, etc.) which colleges have excellent chem programs (if you are in highschool). but, in my opinion, teachers are turned off by students who wish to make themselves look smart or smarter than other students by arguing with them on details which won't be covered until later courses. They also tend to dislike students who are self important sycophants. Be humble, and know that just because you know a little about a lot, you really know not enough.

Answer 4

empress teacher ,, you need to think of the basic of the world
so the quantum mechanism is a good choice for you ,

Answer 5

who has seen electrons revolving around nucleus
