Science Through Time: Filipino Minds, Scientific Innovations 👨‍🔬

Did you know that a Filipino scientist helped lead efforts to protect the Philippines’ marine ecosystems?

Dr. Edgardo D. Gomez was a Filipino marine biologist and National Scientist known for his pioneering work in coral reef research and marine conservation. He helped establish the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute and played a major role in the Philippines’ coral reef conservation efforts. His work also contributed to protecting marine biodiversity and raising awareness about the importance of healthy oceans.

His legacy reminds us that science can help protect our seas and the life that depends on them.

Isoamyl Acetate (C₇H₁₄O₂) is an ester known for its sweet, fruity smell, often described as similar to bananas. It is commonly used as a flavoring and fragrance agent and as a solvent in products such as paints, coatings, and laboratory materials. Isoamyl acetate is also used in pest control as an attractant in traps, particularly for certain insect species such as fruit flies.

🧪˚:•. CHEM THEORIES | Molecular Orbital Theory

What happens to electrons when atoms form a molecule? 🤔

Molecular Orbital Theory explains that when atoms come together, their atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals. These orbitals can help explain how electrons are arranged, how molecules bond, and why some molecules are more stable than others.

⮞ Friedrich Hund (1927) Helped establish rules for how electrons occupy molecular orbitals, known as Hund’s rule.

⮞ Robert S. Mulliken (1920s) Developed the molecular orbital approach and introduced the term “molecular orbital.”

⮞ Friedrich Hund & Robert S. Mulliken Their work helped establish the foundation of Molecular Orbital Theory and our modern understanding of chemical bonding.

From individual atomic orbitals to molecular orbitals, this theory helps us understand how atoms interact and form stable molecules.

It's CheMonday! 🔍🔬

Salt doesn’t disappear in water!

When salt is added to water, it dissolves as its tiny particles separate and spread throughout the water. The salt is still present, you just can’t see it because it has dissolved.
