Balancing chemical equations is basically maths.

I'm sure I could have done it, but I had a s**t teacher in year 10 for chem so gave it the arse.

Oh yeah same (i preferred Biology and did that in VCE), I just loved balancing equations. I would set it up as a table/list, and then side by side write the same elements next to each other. Then just adjusted the numbers accordingly

A bunch of these are guesses

 

[Shell]

Yeah correct on all of those.

/aka I cant be bothered looking them all up

 

[Shell]

My favourite element is of course Ag. Silver rules.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Iron is Fe because the word for it in Latin is Ferrum.

 

[troybe]

Tungsten is also known as Wolfram

It's pretty amazing isnt it- like something from a movie could win you a million dollars, if the situation presented itself.

*or you know, perhaps something a little less Slumdog Millionaire, but still a prize of some sort nevertheless

I avoided chem like the plague, physics and maths were my wheelhouse

I loved Chemistry until it all became about memorising elements and their associated numbers
then it was just a waste of brain storage capacity for something that could clearly be seen on a poster if required
