National Chemistry Week (NCW) is an annual event held in the United States to raise public awareness of the importance of chemistry in everyday life. It is coordinated by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
National Chemistry Week is a community-based program that unites ACS local sections, businesses, schools, and individuals in communicating the importance of chemistry to our quality of life.
In 1987, the 1st National Chemistry Day was declared by the American Chemical Society to promote the public’s understanding and appreciation of the role that chemistry plays in our everyday lives. To celebrate the event, a group of local area teachers, under the sponsorship of the MSU Local Section, organized a hands-on activities and chemical demonstration program on Saturday, Nov.
Venus is made up of a central iron core and a rocky mantle, similar to the composition of Earth. Its atmosphere is mainly made up of carbon dioxide (96%) and nitrogen (3%), with small amounts of other gases.
What is the surface of Venus made up of?
Shrouded by a thick atmosphere, the surface of Venus remained hidden until radar equipment arrived to probe the closest planet. Rocky ground lies beneath the layers of clouds. But unlike Mars and Mercury, which are both scarred by craters, Venus has a relatively smooth surface.
