Day of the Chemist is a professional holiday for all those working in the chemical industry. It was officially established on May 10, 1965 by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. The first who began to celebrate this holiday were teachers and students, in a word, chemists of Moscow State University. After this tradition was adopted by other universities. Celebrated Chemist's Day in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine in last Sunday in May. But different chemistry faculties in these countries do not celebrate Chemist's Day on the same day. For example, in St. Petersburg it is celebrated on the 1st Saturday of April, in Kharkov - on the last Sunday of April, Donetsk celebrates on the last Friday of May, Moscow - the second weekend of May, Minsk - 3-4 May weekends. Other cities celebrate this day on other dates in May. One of the official dates of Chemist's Day in 2019 - May 26. Chemist's Day in Ukraine in 2019 will also be celebrated 26 of May.

Scenario Chemist's Day

Chemists have a tradition of celebrating Chemist's Day under the sign of a chemical element in Mendeleev's Periodic Table. For each holiday, one chemical element is played up. A similar tradition underlies all Chemist's Day scenarios. In the towns and cities that were formed as a result of the construction of a chemical enterprise, Chemist's Day is timed to coincide with the City Day holiday.

In our country, this traditional holiday of Lomonosov and Mendeleev is celebrated cheerfully and noisily. This Chemist's Day holiday is not only one of the most famous, but also traditional holidays of the year, and the modern generation not only honors and preserves its traditions, but also successfully multiplies them. As mentioned above, every year this holiday is held under the symbol of a new element. The first holiday was assigned the first element from the periodic table - hydrogen, the subsequent years - each of the elements in turn.

The Chemist's Day holiday brings together graduates of all generations, graduate students, students, and, of course, teachers. Chemical industry graduates are in high demand in many industries modern world. They are indispensable in science, business and industry. Therefore, Chemist's Day is always celebrated cheerfully and brightly.

For good luck and happy holiday Chemist's day script will be useful. Various competitions, concerts and performances can be held on this holiday. Many poems are also dedicated to the Day of the Chemist, which can be inserted into the script of the concert on the Day of the Chemist.

Congratulations on the day of the chemist

Congratulations on Chemist's Day can be both in prose and in verse. Here is an example of one of the congratulations on the day of the chemist in verse:

С2Н5ОН - you are our beloved friend!
With you we will be together
Meet Chemist's Day.
And on this day everything will go smoothly
And the experiments will be easy
And the substance will reveal a riddle,
And in life we ​​are all lucky!

***
And on this day we will be glad
On Chemist's Day, congratulate everyone.
Without fabric, paints and lipstick
Success would not have expected women of all.
And let not every holiday remember
He is dear to us, like a day of victories
And we don't need big words
Happy Chemist's Day! Success awaits you.

Holiday scenarios Chemist's Day great amount. It may include entertaining contests and riddles for a festive evening. Here are some riddles that will go with a bang:

Competitions for Chemist's Day can be very diverse: from brainstorming, when they ask thematic questions, and who will answer large quantity, he won, before the competition "who will catch up more." The Chemist's Day script can also include a themed game "collecting molecules" (collect as many tennis balls as possible with your eyes closed).

You can also organize a fascinating chemical show using different chemical elements, for example, the interaction of sodium nitrite with hydrochloric acid and water. It will be unusual and bewitching. And at the end of the holiday, you can give everyone present small memorable gifts that will remind you of this holiday for a long time.

Happy holiday, dear chemists! We congratulate you from the bottom of our hearts!

congratulations on the day of the chemist

We sing glory to those whose fate is chemistry,
About whom the scientific rumor is buzzing:
Natures are creative, vulnerable,
From an unstable substance
But you all the molecules and atoms
Subject to... Stop! Let's change the keynote:
On the day of the chemist, we wish to become rich -
To buy both bread and reagent!

And tirelessly study all my life.

If you give yourself the trouble to think, you can come to a surprising conclusion: much of what surrounds us is the result of the work of chemistry. All objects around us are connected in one way or another with a huge branch of industry - the chemical industry. Shampoos and soaps, plastics and paints, metals and treated wood - one way or another, chemistry touches any subject of our everyday life. In honor of those who ensure the work of the chemical industry, a special holiday has been established - Chemist's Day. About how this holiday appeared, what date is Chemist's Day in 2019, who celebrates this holiday - in our article.

Chemist's Day 2019

Most professional holidays do not have a fixed date - they are celebrated on a certain day of the month, most often a day off. The day of the chemist is one of them, therefore the date of the holiday is different every year. This professional day is annually celebrated on the last May Sunday.

However, in addition to the state professional holiday, there is also a student Chemist's Day. In fact, this is the same holiday, only celebrated in different days. Students celebrate it in April and May, each school has its own date.

Professional Chemist's Day traditionally falls on the May weekend, and the date of the holiday was determined by the Decree of the Presidium of the USSR. professional holiday twenty years younger than its student counterpart - in the USSR, the Day of the Chemist or the Day of the Chemical Industry Worker has been celebrated only since 1980.

History of the holiday. Chemist's Day at Universities

For the first time Chemist's Day was celebrated in 1960 in St. Petersburg. The initiators of the holiday were four students of the Faculty of Chemistry of St. Petersburg University. The date of the event was chosen the first Saturday in April. The first holiday turned out to be quite modest, but extremely interesting: the students came up with a concert program, made their own props for skits and numbers of the student “skit”, decorated the stage and walls of their native faculty. The periodic table became the symbol of the holiday - in different scales it adorned the stage of the assembly hall, and the department, and even the hostel where chemistry students lived.

Unexpectedly, everyone liked the idea - both the students themselves and the teachers, and the Chemist's Day at the university began to be celebrated annually - the holiday became a real student tradition.

A few years later, the idea of ​​celebrating your day came to Moscow State University, and within the walls of this university, the holiday unfolded for real. Moscow State University is the founder of fundamental science, and the traditions of chemists are the strongest in it. It is not surprising that it was this university that glorified student Chemistry Day literally throughout the country.

Chemistry students of Moscow State University first celebrated their holiday in 1966, and the second May Sunday was chosen as the date for Chemistry Day. The main innovation of the students was the decision to hold a holiday under the sign of any element from the chemical periodic table. The very first Chemist's Day at Moscow State University was marked by hydrogen, the first element of the table. The second holiday, held in 1967, was patronized by helium, the third by lithium, and so on. The jubilee, fiftieth Day of the Chemist of Moscow State University took place in 2016, he was awarded the sign of tin - the fiftieth element of the table.

In 2019, Moscow State University will celebrate the 53rd Chemist's Day. A patron has already been chosen for the holiday - the fifty-third element is iodine.

Student holidays are always distinguished by their brightness, scale and variety. Chemist's Day was no exception. Sports relays and competitions, competitions, performances and skits - all this is in every scenario of the holiday. However, over half a century, Moscow State University has developed its own special traditions of Chemist's Day. First of all, this is the Performance on the steps - a traditional event held in front of the university building. Of course, do not forget about the auction, full of unpredictability and fun. Well, the main event of the holiday, which for many years is remembered by everyone who studied at the Faculty of Chemistry, is Chemist's Night. Every year for the Night, the organizers of the holiday come up with something special, something that will forever remain in the memory of students.

Interesting events of Chemist's Day in 2019

1. Alchemy of the Middle Ages became the founder of modern chemistry: organic, inorganic and physical;
2. The first event dedicated to chemists took place in 1960 in the cultural capital of our country;
3. In 1966, the tradition of celebrating Chemist's Day was picked up by students of Moscow State University;
4. 2016: chemists celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their holiday:
5. In 2019, the fifty-third Chemist's Day will be held under the sign of iodine;
6. The holiday will be celebrated on May 27(last Sunday of the month)
7. The official celebration of workers in the chemical industry in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has been approved since 1980.

The value of chemistry in human life

Chemical reactions in our environment can be found anywhere, from the simple process of single-celled animals to the global interactions of small particles in the universe.

All about chemists

When studying chemicals and their compounds, one can understand the significance of these concepts in research:

1. The human body (colors, smells, emotions, nerve endings, motor apparatus, tissues, cells).
2. Kinetic and thermodynamic processes.
3. plants.
4. Animal world.
5. Mountain formations.

The founder of the heroine of our event was alchemy, which since ancient times frightened most of the population with its unknown and various transformations: changing the color of the material, making glass, changing the shape of metals.

In modern life, almost every object or phenomenon around us is associated with chemical processes or the results of its work: cosmetics, household chemicals, paints and varnishes, processing of metals or wood.

We owe all these merits to specialists who have connected their lives with chemistry. They are dedicated to their professional holiday Chemist's Day, which will be celebrated May 27, 2019, i.e. last Sunday of the month.

Chemist's Day celebrations

It turns out that for 2019 the symbol of the Day of the chemical industry worker will be element number fifty-three of the periodic table of Mendeleev, i.e. iodine.

Organized events held by students were universally famous for their uniqueness, mass character and many different sensations. The heroes of our holiday also did not lag behind.

On the steps at the entrance to higher educational institutions, they organized various concert programs, including scenes from the life of students. The youth also competed in various types sporting events, fun starts.

Traditional unforgettable annual auctions, held next to the building of the Faculty of Chemistry, could not leave anyone indifferent. They are famous for their unpredictability and brightness.

It is impossible not to mention the main peak of the holiday, which was the final moment for the students of the Faculty of Chemistry - this is the night of chemists.

Day of the chemical industry worker

The vast majority of events dedicated to any professions are celebrated without any specific date. For them, a special day off of a particular month is allotted, more often this day off is Sunday.

Chemist's Day for a worker in the chemical industry is an event abolished by the state. A specific date for the celebration was approved by the Decree of the Presidium of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of 1980.

It turns out that the approved event itself is twenty years younger than student holidays. As a result, the Day of the Chemist or the Day of the Chemical Industry Worker is officially recognized as a festive and memorable day of the country in the 80th year.

But in every higher educational institution where there is a chemical department, the heroes of the chemical industry celebrate out of habit from the first Saturday of April to the second week of May.

"Great Chemists in Art". Integrated open extracurricular activity(chemistry + music + art)

Tutorial: to acquaint students with the outstanding creations of the great Russian chemists in the field of chemistry and art.

Developing: continue the formation of knowledge about the secrets of glassmaking, mosaics, chemical reactions, substances, the periodic system, the development of listening skills, deepening knowledge about the composer's work.

Educational: on the example of famous scientists, composers - to instill in students a sense of pride, patriotism for their country, for their compatriots, to instill in them the desire to gain knowledge and work with the same perseverance.

(SLIDE 1) Epigraph:
"Long live the Muses,
Long live the mind!
A.S. Pushkin

Chemistry teacher:

Tonight is an evening of chemistry and art at the same time. On it you will hear about the famous chemists who made themselves famous not only in the field of chemistry, but also created beautiful paintings, wrote wonderful odes, songs, suites, symphonies, operas.

Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov- 298 years from the date of birth - the first Russian natural scientist, poet, artist, historian, champion of national education.

Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin– 176th birthday – Russian composer, talented scientist, professor of medicine.

Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev- 175 years since the birth - Russian chemist, teacher, progressive figure.

Thanks to books and art, which are eternal, we can learn about that, or about those who lived, worked three hundred years ago, for example, about the years when M.V. Lomonosov was born.

Students' message about Lomonosov's childhood(SLIDES 2,3) (see Appendix).

A.N. Nekrasov, poem “Schoolboy” (student reads) (SLIDE 4):

You'll find out soon at school
Like an Arkhangelsk man
By your own and God's will
He became smart and great.
Not without good souls in the world
Someone will take you to Moscow
You will be at the university
The dream will come true!
There is already a wide field:
Know, work, don't be afraid.
That's why you deep
I love, dear Russia!

(SLIDE 5) He lived in Moscow very hard, hungry, but he did not give up, became the best student of the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy, and then, after studying in Moscow and St. Petersburg, among 3 the best students was sent to Germany for further studies.

(SLIDE 6) After studying abroad, Lomonosov returned to Russia, in 1745. he is already approved by the professor of chemistry. Lomonosov can in all fairness be called the first Russian naturalist. Before him, chemistry generally belonged to the category of arts.

Lomonosov first defined chemistry as the science of the transformation of substances, became the founder of the atomic and molecular theory, formulated the law on the conservation of the mass of substances, designed a single-mirror telescope, invented a night vision tube for seeing in the dark, and made astronomical and atmospheric observations.

Pushkin said very briefly and succinctly about him: “Historian, rhetorician, mechanic, chemist, mineralogist, artist and poet, he experienced everything and penetrated everything” (SLIDE 7)

Lomonosov devoted more than 17 years of his life to research in the field of glassmaking. Lomonosov was very interested in the work of Italian masters, mosaics, who managed to create thousands of shades, made of colored glass, smalt, as they were then called.

The preparation of smalt was kept in strict confidence by the Italians. Lomonosov himself revealed the secrets and developed his own recipes for making smalts. He made thousands of experiments and discovered ways to obtain smalt of any color, built the Ust-Ruditskaya glass factory. He was so carried away by glass and fell in love with it that he even dedicated one of his odes to it (the student reads):

They think wrong about things, Shuvalov
Which glass is revered below minerals
An alluring beam that shines into the eyes:
No less useful in it, no less beauty in it.
... I sing praise before You in delight
Not expensive stones, nor gold, but Glass
... We need health and life part of the Glass
What praise must be given to him!

(SLIDE 8) Many mosaic paintings were created in his workshop, one of which he made with his own hand (painting by Peter I). Lomonosov treated Peter I with great respect, even adoration. In memory of him, he wanted to create a mausoleum, where paintings, floors, walls, columns, tombs - everything had to be made of colored glass, but illness and death cut short his plans.

(SLIDE 9.10) In memory of Russia's victory over the Swedes, the painting "Poltava Battle" (42 m2.) was created. For almost 5 years, work was carried out on the picture, and then it suffered a sad fate. She went missing. Almost 150 years have passed, the October Revolution took place, and then one day, in St. Petersburg, while putting the cellars of the Academy of Sciences in order, the workers stumbled upon some huge boxes. In them was found, cut into pieces, a picture. It was restored and now it surprises us with its magnificence. It is located in the building of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation in St. Petersburg.

(SLIDE 11) Tsarina Elizabeth Petrovna favored Lomonosov. On the day of the empress's accession to the throne, in 1747, Lomonosov wrote an ode for her, in which he addresses the youth, urging them to acquire knowledge and serve the fatherland (a student reads):

Oh you who are waiting
Fatherland from its bowels
And wants to see those
Which calls from foreign countries,
Oh, your days are blessed!
Be emboldened now
Show your trust
What can own Pluto
And quick-witted Newtons
Russian land to give birth!
The sciences feed young men, give joy to the old
AT happy life decorate, cherish in an accident.
In domestic difficulties there is joy, and in distant wanderings it is not a hindrance,
Science is used everywhere: among nations and in the desert,
In the noise of the city and alone, in peace and sweetness in work!

Uch.chem.: He dedicates one of the mosaic paintings to her.

He also created a portrait of Count Ivan Shuvalov, who saw in Lomonosov the glory and pride of his homeland and greatly valued his friendship with him. In addition to these works, paintings were created (SLIDES 12,13,14):

"Miraculous Savior"

"Apostle Peter"

"Alexander Nevskiy"

"God is the Father"

“Count M.I. Vorontsov"

"Grand Duke Pyotr Fedorovich"

"Princess Anna Petrovna"

“Count G.G. Orlov”, “Catherine II”

All these paintings have survived to this day, once again proving to the current generation that mosaics, and “the old antiquity are not afraid of biting.” Many of them are now in the Hermitage. And exactly 180 years ago, almost at the same time (with a difference of only one year), two remarkable chemists were born and worked: A.P. Borodin and D.I. Mendeleev.

A fragment from the opera “Prince Igor” sounds - “Fly away on the wings of the wind” (slide 15-21)

Why do you think the music is playing now? But because we are now talking about the great musician - chemist Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin.

Student message

A.P. Borodin was born in 1833 near St. Petersburg. His father was a prince, and his mother was a soldier's daughter, so he was an illegitimate child, and was recorded as the son of a serf - Porfiry Borodin. (SLIDES 16,17)

Alexander's mother, although she had no education, understood how important it was to be an educated person, and spared no expense to educate her son. She hired teachers for him who taught him at home. He studied well, as a child he mastered French, German, English and later Italian. Of all the subjects he studied, he liked chemistry the most. At the age of twelve, he turned the whole apartment into a kind of laboratory, where he conducted various entertaining experiments. (SLIDE 18) Borodin's II "Bogatyr" symphony sounds. (slide 24-27)

In the symphony, the composer reveals the strength and power of the Russian people.

In the same era, the outstanding chemist D.I. Mendeleev lived and worked

Students' message about Mendeleev(SLIDES 19,20)

Born in 1834 in the city of Tobolsk, he was the 17th child in the family. The family was intelligent. Mom - Maria Dmitrievna was a very educated, well-read woman, she played music well, had a strong character and inexhaustible energy. They used to say about such families: “music of old Russian families”. Father is the director of the Tobolsk gymnasium, a man of progressive ideas and views. It was a family that, by its example, intellect, culture, brought up and raised Russia famous people.

The daughter of D.I. Mendeleev, Lyubov Dmitrievna, married the poet Alexander Blok.

Mendeleev himself was the soul of the company that gathered in his house, where one could always talk with famous artists: Repin, Shishkin, Kuindzhi, talk about painting, hear the beautiful performance of romances by Mendeleev's wife, Anna Ivanovna Popova. In his student years, Mendeleev was an avid music lover, was very interested in opera. The powerful effect of music on his soul was preserved until last days life. He read a lot, loved Nansen's travels, treated many writers with respect and had his own opinion on everything. own opinion.

(SLIDE 21) Many scientists went to Europe to improve themselves in the sciences. Mendeleev chose Heidelberg (Germany). At that time there were many Russian scientists in Heidelberg.

All the bright minds of the fatherland gathered in the Hoffman boarding house. Often after dinner, the young chemist Borodin sat down at the piano and the room was filled with melodies familiar from childhood. Passionately loving music, Borodin also carried away his friends to this wonderful and bright world.

Sounds nocturne from Borodin's Little Piano Suite. (slide 31-35)

Uch.chem.:

A.P. Borodin was not only an excellent composer, but also a wonderful chemist, doctor of medicine. (SLIDES 22,23,24)

Already in the first year, Borodin begins to study independently scientific work, as a result of which it receives glycolic acid (hydroxyacetic) - CH 2 (OH) - COOH

Developed original way obtaining bromine-substituted fatty acids, studied the chemical properties of amarin and proposed its use in medicine as an analgesic drug.

In 1862, Borodin received the first aromatic organofluorine compound, which then received a very wide application in industry and medicine.

In 1872, he discovered a new type of reaction - aldol condensation (when two aldehydes or ketones combine with each other).

Meeting in Heidelberg, in Russia, scientists often arranged merry skits, on which they played comic skits, the prototype of which we wanted to demonstrate to you today. "Romeo and Juliet" in a chemical way.(SLIDES 25,26,27)

(SLIDE 28) A.P. Borodin owes Heidelberg the fact that he met his first and only love there, his future wife - Ekaterina Sergeevna Protopopova - true friend, a virtuoso pianist, a serious critic of his musical works, a passionate admirer of his talent. He dedicated one of the quartets to her.

Sounds nocturne from the 2nd quartet. (slide 40-44)

Uch.chem.:

Let's return to Borodin's friend and colleague - Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev - the greatest genius of Russia. (SLIDE 29)

A man very in love with art, but he found his main vocation in chemistry.

In his diary, he wrote: “In total, more than four subjects made up my name: the periodic law, the study of gas elasticity, the understanding of solutions as associations, and Fundamentals of Chemistry. This is where all my wealth is. These are my children”

Student message

2009 is twice an anniversary year for D.I. Mendeleev, 175 years since his birth, 140 years of the periodic system of chemical elements created by him.

Is it true that Mendeleev discovered the table in a dream, as is often said now.

Here, listen to what Mendeleev himself thought and said about this, answering this question to a reporter: “But it’s not like yours, my friend! Not a nickel for a line! Not like you! I have been thinking about it for maybe twenty years, and the table itself is the final chord, the result of many years of work.

In his table, Mendeleev predicted the existence of 11 elements unknown at the time. He wrote the properties of three of them in the most detail and with amazing accuracy: ekaaluminum (gallium), ekabora (scandium), ekasicily (germanium).

Uch.chem.:

One day in the autumn of 1875, when Mendeleev was looking through the reports of the Paris Academy of Sciences, his eyes fell on the message of Lecoq de Boisbaudran about the discovery of a new element, which he called gallium. Mendeleev frantically scanned the article, there was no doubt that the properties of the newly discovered element were similar to the properties of ekaaluminum predicted by Mendeleev. There was no doubt - this is a triumph, this is a victory! But the French researcher indicated the specific gravity of gallium was 4.7, and according to Mendeleev's calculations it was 5.9. Mendeleev wrote to the scientist. Lecoq de Boisbaudran, having read Mendeleev's letter, was very surprised and did not understand why Mendeleev asserted with such confidence about the density of gallium, if he did not have this element at all, but only predicted the possibility of its existence. But nevertheless, he conducted repeated tests and made sure that Mendeleev was right. This caused a real sensation among scientists. Work began to boil everywhere, scientists began to look for the rest of the elements predicted by Mendeleev.

And success was not long in coming. In 1879 Professor Nilson discovered ekabor - scandium. In early 1886, the chemist Winkler announced the discovery of germanium - ekasilicon.

Not supporting Mendeleev’s research at first, but advising him to “get busy,” N.N. Zinin then became one of the first to recognize the genius of the periodic law and later said to Mendeleev: “that the periodic law glorified your name, and together with you the Russian science all over the world. How joyful it is to realize that this is the merit of your compatriot!

N.N. Zinin was also Borodin's supervisor and often reproached him for devoting a lot of time to music. (SLIDE 30)

Borodin dreamed of creating a new Russian opera. The basis for it was the "Word of Igor's Campaign", in which the feelings of Prince Igor and his Yaroslavna sounded so vividly, which reflects the age-old struggle between Russia and the barbarian East.

Worked on the opera Borodin for 18 years. He never had enough time for everything. It was possible to study music, as he himself said, only during his illness. At the same time, he often joked: “for me, music is fun, and chemistry is business.” However, everything he undertook was very serious for him.

Borodin did not have time to finish work on the opera. On February 15, 1887, he died. His friends helped finish the opera and make it premiere. Poems

On the monument to Borodin, 4 formulas of chemical compounds obtained by him and musical themes from the opera “Prince Igor” were engraved.

Igor's aria sounds from the opera "Prince Igor" (slide 45)

Uch.chem.:

At this evening we were convinced that all brilliant people were very versatile, that chemistry and art, in the eyes of the layman, seem to be completely polar, and their study is being conducted as two different parallels. But, thanks to such prominent scientists as Mendeleev, Lomonosov and Borodin, they have many points of intersection. (SLIDE 31)

No wonder chemistry used to be considered an art. Chemists are in the soul of their lyrics, and their discoveries also sounded to the whole world like symphonies or poems and became an eternity for us.

I asked the free wind:
"What can I do to be young?"
The playing wind answered me:
"Be airy, like the wind, like smoke!"
I asked the mighty sea:
“What is the great covenant of being?”
The sounding sea answered me:
"Be always full-sounding, like me!"
I asked the high sun:
"How can I flare up brighter than the dawn?"
The sun didn't answer
But the soul heard: "Burn."

Application - presentation

May is the month of sunshine and hope. The last Sunday of this month is the most joyful and wonderful holiday for all teachers and students of the Faculty of Chemistry. Every university has a department of chemistry with an obligatory Chemist's Day. In addition, for many graduates, Chemist's Day is the only way get together and remember the old days. The holiday has been celebrated since 1981, according to the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 1, 1980 "On holidays and memorable days" on the last Sunday of May. But it's official, not official, even informal,
Chemist's Day has been celebrated since 1966. Since then, the celebration has been held under the sign of the chemical elements of the periodic table. So, for example, the first day of the chemist became the Day of hydrogen - the first element of the Periodic system.

In our country, the traditional holiday of the followers of Lomonosov and Mendeleev - Chemist's Day - is celebrated noisily and cheerfully. This holiday is a tribute to people who linked their fate with one of the most modern, complex and economically significant sectors of the economy. It traces its history back to Soviet times, when it was established by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 1, 1980 N 3018-X “On holidays and memorable days”, and has been preserved as a professional holiday today. In Russia, the No. 1 chemist is, of course, Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev. It is said that Mendeleev dreamed of the Periodic Table of Elements in a dream. He was then 35 years old. There is such a theory that the world is not only unknowable, but also depends on who knows - the researcher inevitably influences the result of the experiment. And therefore there are many simultaneously existing Universes with different properties. So, our Universe, which now consists of approximately 114 elements, was arranged by Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev.

Chemistry is the science that studies substances and their transformations as a result of chemical reactions. A long time ago, people put their knowledge of chemistry into practice, trying to get gold from any metal, melting glass, dyeing fabrics with various dyes. As a result of such practical actions, some reagents and equipment appeared, for example, an apparatus for distilling liquids. Chemistry as a science began in the 17th century with the name of Robert Boyle, who was the first to try to define the chemical element that makes up a substance. In the 19th century, Mendeleev created a table of elements, later named after him, with which it was much easier to determine the chemical composition of substances.

In modern life, it is difficult to find at least one area where chemicals and materials are not used. All of our lives are related to chemistry in one way or another. Chemist's Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of May. This is a professional holiday for workers in the chemical industry, representatives of science, students - chemists and their teachers.

A toast to the professional holiday "Let's get drunk!"

On Chemist's Day, let's get chemist
A little happiness, joy, good luck.
Let's take everything in sensible proportions,
And difficult problems will be solved.

Let the reagents always please
Health will be strong and stable.
All allergies say together: "No!",
Let's say "Yes!" we have an active holiday.

Raise a toast to Mendeleev
And “Thank you for the table!” - let's say.
And even children with their joy
We will easily show chemistry in everyday life.
С2Н5ОН - you are our beloved friend!
With you we will be together
Meet Chemist's Day.
The sun shines brighter
And a happier landscape
When in your stomach
C2H5OH.
And for the most magical profession on earth!

Wish to chemists

DIMendeleev discovered 40-degree vodka. Later, he opened a 27-degree "Port". And only in the morning the great scientist discovered that they should not be mixed. I wish you great discoveries not only at this table, but also in your professional life.

Toast in honor of Chemistry and Chemists

Let's make a toast in honor of such a great day. Chemistry is the science of magic, capable of performing extraordinary miracles. I want to appeal to women to say thank you to all chemists. After all, if it were not for chemists, we would not have such a huge variety of creams, shampoos, varnishes and other cosmetics. Men can express their gratitude to chemists for the shaving creams created for them, for car oils. Let's all together try to remember all the merits of our extraordinary wizards. Let's name all the things and objects for which we can thank them.
(Participants unanimously list).

Leader's words: Thanks everyone. It is at this moment that we can safely say that life does not exist without chemistry! Without congratulations and toasts, our tonight cannot exist.
