Chimica da cantare

Bianco Natale
( I'm Dreaming of a White Precipitate)
I'm dreaming of a white precipitate
just like the ones I used to make
Where the colors are vivid
and the chemist is livid
to see impurities in the snow.
---------------------------------------
I'm dreaming of a white precipitate
with every chemistry test I write
May your equations be balanced and right
and may all your reactions be bright.

Santo Natale

Silent labs, difficult labs
All with math, all with graphs
Observations of colors and smells
Calculations and graph curves like bells
Memories of tests that have past
Oh - - how long will chemistry last?
---------------------------------------
Silent labs, difficult labs
All with math, all with graphs
Lots of equations that need balancing
Gas pressure problems that make my head ring
Santa Chlorine's on his way

Adeste fideles
( O Come all ye Gases)

O Come all yea gases
diatomic wonders
O come yea, o come yea
calls Avogadro.
----------------------------------------------------
O come yea in moles
6 x 10 to the 23rd
O molar mass and molecules
O volume, pressure and temperature

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the lab
with a tan page lab report
Taking all those tests
and laughing at them all
Bells for fire drills ring
making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
a chemistry song tonight.
-----------------------------------------------------
Oh, lab report, lab reports,
reacting all the way
Oh what fun it is to study
for a chemistry test today, Hey!

Oh, My Darling Clementine

Oh, my ketone! Oh, my ketone!
And my primary amine.
You reacted, lost some water and
You formed a new imine.
---------------------------------------------------------
Now the lone pair on the N then
Bonds with carbonyl C.
Pi electrons go to O, a
Proton shifts fast as can be.
---------------------------------------------------------
Now the O is feeling greedy
Grabs an H from OH3.
Free electrons from the N then
Form a pi bond, water leaves.
---------------------------------------------------------
Now the N is protonated
And a plus charge can be seen.
So the water yanks the H off
And we've formed a new imine.
---------------------------------------------------------
Oh, my ketone! Oh, my ketone!
And my primary amine.
You reacted, lost some water and
You formed a new imine.

The ELEMENT song
by: Tom Lehrer

There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium,
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.
There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium.
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead, praseodymium, and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium,
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.
There's sulfur, californium, and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc, and rhodium,
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin, and sodium.
These are the only ones of which the news has come to Ha'vard,
And there may be many others, but they haven't been discavard.
