The power of chemistry is in large quantities! Although a single helium atom cannot do much, many atoms together make a big difference. Recall the ideal gas law: P = n*RT/V!

Help the new lounge shine as brightly as neon lights guiding students in their pursuit of knowledge!

Argon is called "lazy" because its name comes from the Greek word argos, meaning "inactive" or "idle," but thanks to your support, our students will have a space to be active and productive! Thank you for helping cover the cost of a basic chair for the new lounge - because even busy students need a place to rest!

Among other things, Krypton is used in energy-efficient lighting. Thank you for supporting the new study lounge and helping our students shine as brightly as possible!

A gift of $250 will help cover the cost of a basic writing desk - so students will have a good place to draw complicated Lewis structures of Xe-containing compounds between classes!

Your generous gift will help make it possible to purchase a bookshelf for Chem Corner. We can't wait to fill it with books and memorabilia highlighting the brilliant history of the Chemistry Department, including the fact that was built on top of a nuclear reactor to study radio nuclei like Radon.

Every $1,000 will help enable us to sponsor a graduate student to conduct regular assessments of the programming offered through the Chemistry Club at UC Irvine to ensure our interventions are evidence-based and impactful.
