Exciting Theory

[Mohit Pandey]

In physics, there is BIG Bang and Evolution in Biology. Is there any exciting theory like that in Chemistry also? Please tell me about it.:hihi:

The periodicity of the properties of the elements arranged by atomic number comes first to my mind. Many sources, such as the wikipedia “periodic table”, give succinct overviews of this discovery. One of our members, 12262, has recently written a book on the subject.

how about this: everything, EVERYTHING, comes from lowly hydrogen. fusion reactions in stars first generate helium, then a succession of fusion stages during the later life of the star generate all the lite elements up to and including iron. everything after iron is created only in the rare event called supernova, a massive explosion which creates all the heavy elements at once and blasts them into space, where future generation stars and planets aquire them, that is why they are so rare.

What does LOWLY HYDROGEN mean? Have we also come from hydrogen?
