#Chemistry fact of the day:

Every reaction, wether it's about breaking or forming bonds, requires some activation energy. That's basically the energy to pull that orbital of electrons towards another nucleus.

After those #electrons reach a certain maximum potential #energy, when they are about to combine to another molecule or atom they will release it as kinetic energy, heat etc.

#Catalysts help by lowering the activation energy, because they by nature already detach or attach to things.

From the #AntiWar rallies of the #Vietnam era to the #CivilRights sit-ins, and now to the contemporary marches for #Palestinian rights, it’s clear that #students have been — and continue to be — powerful #catalysts for major shifts in society.

#StudentActivism is often chaotic, but always driven by passion, and essential. Looking back at the #history of #StudentMovements, it’s evident that when students raise their voices, they lay the foundation for future #change.
