I wish I got to do cool experiments like this in school. Instead I just had to titrate shit in biochem and in O chem we had to extract clove oil which made me smell like Christmas for 2 weeks.
This is from my son’s school, awesome to see their stuff on here. They run academic enrichment classes for students on Saturday’s and he regularly sends me videos like this.
This is super cool but I can’t unsee the liquid spreading out on the counter without being wiped up
How it’s made: two triangles of copper connected to make the tree, then addition of 10 mL of Silver Nitrate
It’s giving me a goooooood bit of anxiety as that liquid is creeping towards me
Couldn’t they clean the liquid! >: /r/mildlyinfuriating
Should it… should it be leaking?
A+ title.
Someone please wipe the table! Please
Decant, dammit! DECANT!
So small though. It’s gotta be bigger for good presents imo.
How lovely are your atoms
Was more distracted by the liquid slowly creeping towards the camera
it’s sooo beautiful!
Anyone remember those little cardboard trees with the dyed tips that also grew crystals? Can’t for the life remember what they are called
O-Chemistree, O-Chemistree
Cu + 2AgNO3
So that’s how Christmas trees are made.
How long does the reaction take, also how long does it stay like this? Could you use it as some kind of awesome nerdy snow globe type thing?
I have a C in Chemistree
Oh how are you,
So difficult,
Your weird reactions
Say it all.
Oh chemistree,
oh chemistree,
I’m going to fail
It with a C.
Missed opportunity to tweezer a little star onto the top

I have an organic chemistry final this morning. If only the tests were this cool.
How much your final will f$&k me
Fun fact: the crystal structures that grow outward from the base material are called “dendrites”, which is German for “tree”!

Ugh, I’m so sick of these misleading titles. This clearly isn’t an organic reaction so I don’t know why its titled that way
😄

i love this time of year =]
I’m watching this reaction gif instead of working on a chemistry lab report due tomorrow whoops
One of my teachers was doing this yesterday. Really cool.
It’s something new for me. I like it
Science is beautiful
You can get similar results with boiling water and borax using pipe cleaners to make the shape.
Super creation, looks like really Christmas tree.
You spilled and it bothers me more than it should 🙁
Who else expected it to explode?
“It was at first,
so cute and small
Now the water runs,
This won’t do at all.
O-Chemistree, O-Conductivetree

Had three kids.”
The spill on the counter ruins it
Some of that stuff seeped under my screen protector!
Today is my Chem final y’all, wish me luck
Best pun heard in a while
Can I ask why it’s spilling on the counter
Can someone digitally clean up the spill???…. Please… *Twitch*
