Our survival will depend on ensuring that our students are able to weigh the advantages of SET - Chemistry in particular - against the disadvantages
This delicate balancing act will have to be addressed Let’s hope our children can do it better than us

What contributions have improved the quality of life
Man’s got t’know his limitations
The limit to the strength of a particular material is the Defect and how they may be overcome
Use Google to find out The first page of a browse on Avogadro Number
Applications Need a set of real examples From say the polymer industry production aerated foams
Anticancer Drugs Study of electrolysis on cells Recognition of platinum toxicity Test on cancer cells 100 year-old platinum Anti Cancer drugs
ACS Meeting Key issue for me is how to develop the seamless subliminal understanding of chemistry as a manifestation of molecular (nanoscale) behaviour A set of modules on the Key bases How Chemistry got where it is Focus on the method whereby the information was obtained in Historical context 1Avogadro’s Number 2Size of an atom 3Dalton – atomicity 4Balmer Series 5Bohr Atom 6Pasteur chirality 73D molecule tetrahedral molecule 8spdf > Periodic Table 9X ray crystallography 10DNA measurment laser optical analogue 11Chemical shift in nmr 12The structure of benzene 13Molecular spectroscopy HCl length of chemical bond 14The energy of a bond H 2 15Reaction Intermediates A + B > [C] > products 16Reaction coordinate
