The 6th annual Kilcoyne Christmas Lecture
"Redox Chemistry at Christmas: Is it Better to Give, or to Receive?"
Prof David Read & Dr Paul Wilson (Southampton University)
Every whizz, bang and explosion can be explained in terms of redox chemistry. In any redox reaction, one substance is 鈥榞iving鈥� electrons to another. These transfers of electrons are responsible for the many wonders of chemistry, and being able to predict and explain them is the key to success as a chemist.
This lecture aims to illustrate and explain some of the mysteries of chemistry with a range of spectacular demonstrations interspersed with discussion and interactive questioning using Turning Point voting pads for each audience member.
Two performances:
Wednesday 16th December at 2.30pm primarily for a 6th form/schools audience;
Wednesday 16th December at 6.00pm for both schools and the general public.
