Pharmaceutical Chemistry 2 (Article Assignment 1)

    Hey people!!! This is my first time blogging and guess what its going to be about CHEMISTRY!! hahahaha....well here it goes...hmmm to me chemistry is nothing more than a subject...never thought of it more than that...except the chemistry between me and my boyfriend....lol...lets get serious now! Well back in my school days..i never liked chemistry...actually even now i don't like it very much..the only thing that excites me about it, are the experiments and it's colorful chemical outcomes =). However as I grew older, chemistry  became part of my life..sadly...but I've learnt to deal with it even though it's hard because I need to pass my paper -.-!!
  Over the years, I realized the importance of chemistry and it's related to everything that we do. Chemistry is not just about experiments in labs, it is everywhere.

    I saw a Rainbow today!!!! I've always liked rainbows..when i was young my mom told me it was the stairway to fairyland and i believed it..duhh!! i was just 6 at that time..can't expect much from a kid...haha...but now being a science student i know that its all CHEMISTRY


Formation of rainbow:-
 


1. Light from sun strikes raindrop.
2. Some of the light is reflected.
3. The rest of the light is refracted.
4. Light splits into component colours.
5. Reflected at rear of raindrop (TIR)
6. Refracted again as it leaves raindrop
7. Colours are further dispersed.
  Bistro Palma Maju~ my favourite hanging out spot with Keshika..heheheh where i also see chemistry being applied..the mixing of Milo...lol..which involves the dissolving of solvent and solutes...

Bathing!! Which i love doing...involves chemistry when soap comes in the picture...BUT more than that i love the BUBBLES that form while i bathe...heheheh..i love bubbles from powerpuff girls also..wth!!! ^^

Formation of the bubbles:
A bubble is a thin film of saopy water. Most of the bubbles that you see are filled with air, but it can also be made by using other gasses such as carbon dioxide. the film that makes the bubble has three layers. A thin layer of water is sandwiched between two layers of soap molecules. Each soap molecules is oriented so that its polar (hydrophilic) head faces the water, while its hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail extends away from the water layer. no matter what shape a bubble has initially, it will try to become a sphere. The sphere is the shape that minimizes the surface area of the structure, which makes it the shape that requires the least energy to achieve.

Organic Chemistry..something that I really hate!!!! It is very confusing...God knows why those scientist came up with the weird structures which doesn't make sense at all in my world..hahahaha...it's freaking hard and complicated...i don't understand it till today!!!! =P.. Basically i don't like the subject chemistry....but i like the way it is applied in our daily life..oops i forgot to mention...i also like my chemistry lecturer Miss Grace Pua because she makes it easier for me ..So,chemistry is important...i will never give up on it..im still working on liking it..and will do till the day i die!!!!! hahahaha =P
