Bill Nye came well-prepared for our meeting, which took place at a diner on Madison Avenue in New York City last month. His signature bow tie had a periodic table print, acknowledging C&EN's readership. He skipped the formality of waiting for an opening question, starting right in thus: "In magic, they say it's all done with mirrors. In chemistry, it's all done with molecules. And everything, everything, everything that you see in this room owes its existence to chemists."
I wondered where to take it from there, as I watched a woman over his shoulder apply pigmented wax to her lips. But I quickly realized that breakf

Bill Nye the Science Guy Explains Chemical Reactions
Have you ever wondered what happens when you mix baking soda and vinegar? Or how a firecracker explodes? These are examples of kemikalie reactions, and they're all around us! In this post, we'll explore the world of kemikalie reactions with the help of the one and only Bill Nye the Science Guy.
Imagine a bunch of tiny balls, like marbles, called atoms. These atoms are always moving and bumping into each other. Sometimes, when they bump, they swap some of their tiny, negatively charged particles called electrons. This swapping of electrons is what makes a chemical reaction happen!
Bill Nye explains it like this: "Think of electrons as tiny, bouncing balls. When atoms bump into each other, they can exchange these bouncing balls. This exchange changes the way the atoms behave, and that's what makes a chemical reaction happen."
Types of Chemical Reactions
There are many different types of kemikalie reactions, but here are a
