TRACCIA AUDIO LA VITA GRAZIE AL CARBONIO LIFE THROUGH CARBON Until 1828, chemists believed that compounds were divided into two distinct categories or classes: inorganic compounds, from the mineral world, such as table salt, and organic compounds, from living organisms both animals and vegetables, such as sugar. In 1828, a German [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO LE MOLECOLE CHE CURANO MOLECULES THAT HEAL   In addition to hydrogen and oxygen, other elements are also essential for life, and some are crucial for survival and not perishing from infection or disease. Since ancient times, for example, it had been observed that certain elements had beneficial properties. [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO LA MOLECOLA DELLA VITA THE MOLECULE OF LIFE Essential in the primordial soup is water, a simple molecule, which we all know is the molecule of life. With two atoms of hydrogen (H) and one of oxygen (O), life is, therefore, possible on our planet and perhaps on others [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO LA TAVOLA DELLA VITA THE TABLE OF LIFE The periodic table contains all the elements of life, although some of them still act in mysterious ways in our bodies. Under certain conditions, a usually toxic element can turn out to be a life-saving drug, and elements metabolized in unexpected ways [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO BENVENUTE E BENVENUTI AL MU-CH! WELCOME TO MU-CH!   Matter, which generates so much wonder, is the star of this museum. Here it will be possible to touch and shape it, to understand its hidden secrets through experimentation and following the thread of curiosity. A path made of stories, [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO CHEMISTRY BAR CHEMISTRY BAR When one speaks of chemistry, the first things that come to mind are explosions and chemical reactions. Chemical reactions are irreversible transformations, during which new substances are formed that are completely different from the initial ones. In the course of the exhibition, we saw that [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO REAZIONI CHIMICHE CHEMICAL REACTIONS The matter is neither created nor destroyed, but is transformed, says Lavoisier's fundamental postulate. And the transformation of matter can occur through a chemical reaction that takes place without measurable changes in mass, in which one or more chemical species (called reactants) change their original [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO MOLECOLE MOLECULES Atoms can bind and combine following precise rules to form matter, of which they are fundamental elements. A bit like words forming a sentence, i.e. the molecules of substances. A molecule is the smallest aggregate of atoms that characterizes a substance and can be represented by a [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO PROPRIETÀ DELLA MATERIA PROPERTIES OF MATTER The great variety of shapes and colours with which matter appears to our eyes is because atoms can aggregate with each other in so many ways and form larger, sometimes very complex structures with an orderly or unorderly distribution of particles, and can [...]

TRACCIA AUDIO L’ELETTRONE THE ELECTRON Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, they are tiny particles the size of 0.00000001 meters; they consist of three particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. For simplicity's sake, today we graphically represent the atom almost as a small 'solar system' with the nucleus at the [...]
